Yes?
I guess its ovo-vegetarians, although that only means vegetarians with eggs. People who eat fish aren't vegetarians either, but rather Pescatarians.
So I guess they are ovo-pescatarians?

You did and that is why I even bothered replying. General statements are always bad and are very prevalent in talk about small portions of humanity.

I have no idea what the classifications of vegetarian are, but just normal eggs would never occur to me as something not eaten by those who want to avoid eating animals, to put it simply. Not eating eggs tends to be the vegan thing, not vegetarian.
"When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians." So i'm not sure why vegetarians eating eggs is funny considering it is the normal classification of vegetarianism. The only real branch is those who eat fish to the vegetarian title it seems.
I would also like to note that I didn't question the 'healthiness' of being a Vegetarian. Or Fish/Eggs/Dairy/Vegetarian. I just suggesting that implying that saying vegetarians have a more diverse diet than omnivores seems pretty backwards to me, and that study doesn't dispute (or even mention) that.

Because the word vegetarian means no meat or lack of meat? Both fish and eggs fall under the meat category?
I preach meatism while wearing my bacon basket weave robes and proudly holding my cow leg scepter up for all to behold..

Technically yes, but when the vast majority of people say they are vegetarian, they do not mean "no meat", they mean "no animal that is or has been alive". An unfertilized egg is not an animal. You have those who go into the specifics, but it is rarely the case when talking about vegetarianism. Did you only learn about vegetarians from the internet or something?

They sit right next to all the dairy products in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia in every supermarket I have been in.

Nope, from a few family members who try to 'make me see the light' but still suck down eggs and fish like they are candy. Fat vegetarians are sad, sad people.
So is yogurt and orange juice and refrigerated bread dough and pasta. I guess those are all dairy too? Sorry, I trust the USDA classification over what you see in a supermarket.They sit right next to all the dairy products in both Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia in every supermarket I have been in.
That is kind of the point here, you are harping too much on internet definitions of something while the common definition varies far from the internet one.(aka the correct classification most of the time) What you are doing with eggs here is akin to correcting someone saying they have a theory by calling it a hypothesis, at best.
Also, just as those other people just said, I have never, ever heard of vegetarianism just being "not eating meat" except from those who are meaning "meat from a living or once living animal."
Similiar reasons for why we should minimize human suffering. The fact that it doesn't benefit us as directly shouldn't be of much consequence. Humanity doesn't function on that kind of per-need basis. There is no reason not to endeavor to minimize the suffering of any creature that can feel it, human or otherwise. Discriminating against animals on account of their species is an underhanded attempt to justify what's almost inherently a flawed position.
You wouldn't kill and consume an alien lifeform that was of similiar intelligence to humans, but of a very different species, would you? So clearly an organism's mere species shouldn't factor into it. What factors does that leave you to decide on a course of action over, then? Intelligence? Why does intelligence inherently confer a creature with rights? You wouldn't kill a mentally-retarded person who had even less cognitive capabilities than an animal. That is illegal, and thankfully so.
It is amazing how crazy some people are. And the "funny" part is that eating fish is far more taxing on our world then eating meat. You can't really keep fish as you keep cows and other cattle. Over fishing is a really big problem and if it continues, soon the sea's will be almost empty.
And if people did not eat meat allot more species would be on the brink of extinction, because why breed cows, chickens and other animals if your not going to eat them or keep them as pets.
