ne is the lacto diet, which also includes
             the use of dairy products but, unlike the lacto-ovo diet, this
             diet does not include the use of eggs. The third diet is the
             vegan diet. This diet excludes the use of eggs, dairy
             products, and any food prepared with eggs and dairy products.
             Many vegans do not use honey either (Giehl, 1979). Changing

             move in a healthier direction. Vegetarians are, on the
             average, far healthier than those who consume the typical
             Western diet (Hulsey, 1997). It is a well-established fact that
             vegetarians suffer less heart disease than meat-eaters (The
             European, 1992). The high quantities of fat and protein and the
             total lack of fiber in meat are linked to a disturbing array of
             degenerative diseases such as "cancer, atherosclerosis,
             diabetes, obesity, and many others" (Akers, 1983 p. 23). There
             is an emerging consensus that a vegetarian diet is actually
             better than a meat-oriented diet. (Akers, 1983). The American
             Dietetic Association has often voiced it's support of the "well
             planned" vegetarian diet (Hulsey, 1997). Good health, however,
             is not automatically guaranteed just because someone becomes a

             organized and having a good plan are the keys to a healthy
             vegetarian diet. The body requires a certain amount of
             protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals, to sustain
             a long, healthy existence. Most people believe that the
             vegetarian diet lacks in the required amounts of each of
