lacto vegetarians rule!

A vegetarian who consumes dairy products - in other words, a vegetarian. The 'lacto' is redundant, because all true vegetarians have no qualms about dairy - the word vegan is already in existence for those that do.
Charlie: I'm making grilled cheese, you want some?
David: You eat CHEESE? And you call youself a vegetarian?
Charlie: Uh, yeah. Cheese isn't meat, so it's OK for us to eat it.
David: No it isn't! Being a vegetarian means you can't eat animal products at all.
Charlie: No, that's wrong. You're thinking of vegans.
Charlie is a lacto-vegetarian, and David is a vegan. Neither of these two people are real.

The most common vegetarian that eats eggs and dairy but not poultry, meat, or fish. They can also eat gelatin, bonemeal, and some fats but most don't.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians usually turn lacto-ovo to lose weight, prevent diseases, or for their love of animals.
