Which dietary pattern includes milk but excludes eggs and meat or fish?

• A. Lacto- ovo vegetarian
• B. Vegan
• C. Ovo vegetarian
• D. Lacto vegetarian

Answer: (D)

The pattern being tested is defined by which animal-derived foods are allowed. Milk is a dairy product that some patterns permit, while eggs and all meat or fish are avoided. The one that fits this description includes dairy but excludes eggs and meat/fish, so it is lacto vegetarian. This pattern allows dairy such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, but not eggs or any animal flesh. It differs from an ovo vegetarian (includes eggs but not dairy), a lacto-ovo vegetarian (includes both dairy and eggs), and a vegan (excludes all animal-derived foods, including dairy and eggs).
