can vegetarians have dairy?

Question

i mean like can they have dairy and still be considered a vegarian?

Answer 1

Yes it is vegans that cannot have dairy products including milk yogurt cheese cream.
If you eat dairy products and still refrain from eating meat you will then turn to a vegetarian.
You can only live the life of a vegan or a vegetarian and can't like convert. It is a way how you choose your life. How society views and tables you doesn't matter as you can cheat once a month or so with a cake if you are at a party.
Vegans are defined as eating no product that comes from animals while vegetarians are considered people who don't eat meat.
Vegans don't eat meat either so they are still considered vegetarians at a different level of restraint from meat.

In the end yes vegetarians can eat dairy products and still be vegarian.

Answer 2

Yes I think so. It's a vegan that doen't have any dairy, egg etc (any animal product basically). Vegetarians just pass on the meat bit, but I suppose at the end of the day it's not so much about the label but more about the person and what they feel comfortable eating.

Answer 3

Yes, if you are a ovo/lacto vegetarian then you can eat dairy and egg products. However, strict vegetarians do not.

If you are vegan you wouldn't eat meat or dairy and egg products. A vegan isn't someone who just doesn't eat meat, eggs, or dairy. We also choose to not use medications and products tested on animals, clothing usinging animal products, or make up contianing animal products or having been tested on animals. Being vegan is a lifestyle choice and affects all parts of your life, not just your diet.

Answer 4

Vegetarians are non meat eaters so you can have dairy although many do not consider fish to be meat. Vegans do not eat anything that is produced by an animal such as milk or cheese and eggs.

Answer 5

There are many different practices of vegetarianism and depending upon which one you follow, the rules to eating what, changes.

Here is a table that will tell you the difference between different kinds:

Type (MEAT, EGG,DAIRY)
-------------------------------------
1. Lacto-ovo vegetarianism (No, Yes, Yes)
2. Lacto vegetarianism (No, No, Yes)
3. Ovo vegetarianism (No, Yes, No)
4. Veganism (No, No, No)

Answer 6

ABSOLUTELY! If you are a regular vegetarian, yes.(called lacto-ovo vegetarian) If you are vegan, no. There are also break downs of vegetarianism: Ovo vegetarians eat eggs but not dairy. Lacto vegetarians eat dairy but not eggs. But really, who cares what they are called? The way i see it is any "step" of vegetarian is better for you and for the world than the way you ate before.

Answer 7

Yes. Dairy and eggs are vegetarian foods, but not vegan, which is more restricted.

Answer 8

This is actually a tricky question to answer. Some people believe that the definition of vegetarian is someone who eats no meat but does eat eggs and dairy. Others believe that the true definition of vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat any meat, dairy or eggs. Try looking it up on the net...you will find many different definitions.

Answer 9

Yes, vegans are the ones who can't have dairy.

Answer 10

yes because a vegetarian is just someone who doesn't eat meat. If you don't eat dairy or meat or anything that is living or comes from a living thing, you are a vegan.
