All of the vegetarians I know are lacto-ovo-vegetarians, whereas a number
of the contributors to net.veg seem to be "total" vegetarians.  As an
alternative to the continued flaming about vegetarianism vs. meat-eating,
I'd like to propose the following topic for some (hopefully more restrained)
discussion:  what do you consider to be the pros and cons of including eggs
and dairy products in a vegetarian diet?  Are the reasons for "total"
vegetarianism based on morality, health, or both?  Are milk and eggs any
less wasteful a source of protein than meat?

From a sympathizer who still eats an occasional dead animal--
