Hi, Liz,
I really enjoyed reading your article.
Interestingly, I have been engaged in this debate with some coworkers of mine for a while now - whether it is better for the planet to be a local-leaning vegetarian or a local-leaning chicken eater - a debate in which you have come down on the side of the latter. I am wondering, though, what is considered a standard lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, and if it is assumed for the sake of argument that vegetarians on average eat more egg and dairy products than omnivores.
If anyone can answer my question - what is the average egg- and dairy- consumption of a lacto-ovo vegetarian versus a person who eats egg, dairy and chicken or is a complete omnivore - and on what information this average is based (in this article or in general) - that would be great, not only for the sake of argument but for my own personal and professional enrichment. I apologize if I have missed it in the article.
Peace to all
Mandy
