Opinions differ as to whether eggs are acceptable in a vegetarian diet — lacto vegetarians feel that they are not whereas ovo-lacto vegetarians feel that they are. Both groups accepts the inclusion of animal-derived products such as honey, milk and other dairy products, in their diet; the practice of excluding these is termed veganism.
