Questions for vegetarians.....?

Question

1. Do you drink cow's milk?
2. Do you eat tofu?
3. How long you've been a vegetarian?
4. Do you eat dairy products - cheese, eggs, ice cream, etc.

Answer 1

1. Many vegetarians do, they just avoid eating meat.
2. Many, if not all, do.
3. It depends on the person.
4. Some do, so don't.

Answer 2

1. No, I do not drink cow's milk.
2. Not on a regular basis. I am not too fond of the taste, but I might just need to look into different ways of preparing it.
3. I have been a vegetarian for half of a year.
4. I try to avoid most dairy products, as I am borderline vegan. I do not eat eggs or drink milk, but I will eat some cheeses that do not contain animal rennet in them. The reason I cannot consider myself completely vegan is because I will, on occasion, eat foods that contain milk.

Answer 3

1. Vegetarians drink cows milk. Vegans dont.
2. Tofu is a soya product - vegans eat it instead of cheese.
3. I'm not.
4. Vegetarians eat all dairy products except meat and eggs. Some vegetarians eat eggs like table eggs or farm eggs. Cakes and other pastries have eggs but thats ok with the vegetarians.

Answer 4

1. No, I don't drink milk. Not only do I have milk allergy, but I don't believe in that.
2. I have eaten tofu, and will-but rarely.
3. I have been vegetarian for about four years.
4. Again, no. I have milk allergy and don't believe in it. I'm vegan so no dairy or ovo.

Answer 5

1. I rarely drink milk, but I use it for cooking.
2. I love tofu! I'd eat it every day if my husband liked it better, but I cook with it as often as I can without getting too much flak.
3. 27 years
4. Yes - I love ice cream! I don't eat many eggs, as they make me break out, but I do eat cheese.

Answer 6

1. Yep
2. Not often. Don't much care for it.
3. On and off for about 8 years. Mostly on.
4. Yep, even eggs. If nothing died, I'll eat it.

Answer 7

1: No it's disgusting and it's meant for calves
2: On occasion
3: Around 17 years
4: Eggs occasionally, and I eat Swedish Glace which is a delicious alternative to ice cream.

Answer 8

Vegetarians, as a whole, do not eat red meat. Some also choose to exclude poultry (pollo-veg) and/or seafood (pesco-veg). Because chicken and fish are indeed meat, it's debatable whether most would call it vegetarianism, but they are accepted forms.

Many veg's, in additon to actual flesh, eliminate non-meat animal products like gelatin and caesin. It varies a lot, though.

Drop all meat, but eat eggs and dairy, you're "lacto-ovo-vegetarian"
Drop all dairy products, and eat eggs, you're "ovo-vegetarian"
Drop eggs in all forms, but consume dairy, you're "lacto-vegetarian"

No eggs OR dairy, plus, no non-meat animal products, including honey, and you're, by definition, "vegan".

Go even further, and eat only plants and plant products (nothing grown with bacteria), and you're "macrobiotic" *please note, some macrobiotics DO eat meat. There's more to the philosophy than being non-meat-eaters. So, it's not technically a form of vegetarianism*

Vow not to cook your food, or do anything but pick and eat, and you're "raw-vegan", "raw-macrobiotic", or just "raw".

SO, to answer your question, there are, in fact, EIGHT forms af vegetarianism. (macro's don't count) pollo, pesco, pollo-pesco, ovo, lacto, lacto-ovo, vegan, and raw.
