If you're a hard line vegetarian or a vegan, then no. However it's a personal choice still. Some people won't eat meat because they don't want an animal to die to feed them. But dairy and eggs come from live animals so that's still okay.
If you're a vegetarian that is eating dairy and eggs, don't feel bad about it. In the end, you're the only one that can decide what is acceptable for you.

yes, but you have to make sure the cheese is made with vegetarian rennet and the milk is not fortified with vitamins or calcium,
Dairy and eggs are allowed by the definition, but many veggies choose to reduce thier intake because of the welfare issues to do with milk and eggs.
Here are some of the milk issues:
Artificial incemination every year
Hormone enriched feed
Bribe/feed caged carousels
killing bulls, excess calves and free martins at 1 week old
excess feeding to produce 60 lites of milk per day
intensive rearing means low husbandry checks
removing calves from mothers after colostrum feed
killing the cow at 7 years old
Here are some of the egg issues:
battery and barn hens
Freerange hens are generally "caged" outdoors in high populations
20% of stock is slaughtered anually
Hens fed growth hormones and dead hens
cockerals all slaughtered
bribe fed

If I remember, some of the items that you mention are classified in Canada's in the food group meat and meat alternatives (eggs) and the milk and cheese are dairy, It also depends on how strict of a vegan you are. so go ahead and enjoy!

Yes, vegetarians can eat those things, it's vegans who are the picky ones, they don't eat anything that comes from an animal. Vegetarians still eat animal by-products.

You shouldn't eat cheese, milk, and eggs. Go to

and watch earthlings on freedocumentaries.org
Open your eyes to the truth dude, don't be another ignorant bigot trying to 'enjoy' their life by ignoring the suffering of others. I'd rather be an omni than to be a vegetarian, the amount of suffering towards the animals would be the same.
OH and by the way, a 'vegetarian' that eats pork rinds IS NOT VEGETARIAN!
Don't label yourself? ...aren't you guys the ones labeling us?

it depends how a vegetarian define these food..
some may say by consuming them are taking lives of animals and others may argue that it's not..
so it depends on the stand of the vegetarian..

Yes, but some cheeses are not because they use rennet and other animal products. So you should check first.
