Religion
In Hinduism many individuals are either raised as ovo-lacto vegetarians or lacto vegetarians. The cow is considered sacred in Hinduism.
The Bible Christian Church was a Christian vegetarian sect founded by William Cowherd in 1809. Cowherd was one of the philosophical forerunners of the Vegetarian Society founded in 1847. The Bible Christian Church promoted the use of eggs, dairy and honey as God’s given food per "the promised land flowing with milk and honey" (Exodus 3:8).
Many Seventh-day Adventist followers are lacto-ovo vegetarians. For over 130 years, Seventh-day Adventists have recommended a vegetarian diet which may include milk products and eggs.
