Most Indian vegetarians believe cheese (butter oil, mushroom, egg, prone & cheese) is a veterinarian food. Allhough they know where it comes from.

I dont see why egg is not vegeterian. You do not kill a hen for an egg. Egg is the hen period( sorry~ it sounds disgusting) just like female period
The purpose of be vegeterian is avoid to put the pain on other animal. Consider that in USA mother cow forced to giving milk( they dont lets the cow eat enough iron so that it give more milk, also the chemical stuff put in their food too), the calf was taken away from their mother when it is too young so that all the milk will be use for human consumtion
Same thing happen with hen, the hen is forced to live in a tide cage and I heard that they use some technique to force the hen lay about 2 eggs a day( that must b painful for them~ poor hen)
Therefore,use cream, cheese, egg, milk.... can bring pain to the animal if you buy non organic dairy and egg

I have been a vegetarian since 7th grade and I always ate cheese. Vegetarian simply means not eating any of the animals directly, it doesn't deal with animal products. However over the past year I have become vegan. That is a more extreme version of vegetarianism, and in that case I do not eat any of those byproducts.
So in answer cheese is a vegetarian food, however not a vegan food.
Hope that helps

I am a vegetarian. Cheese can be vegetarian. There are different types of vegetarians, and vegans do not have any dairy products, meat, or eggs. Other vegetarians do.

I am a vegetarian, and I eat cheese. I consider it a vegetarian food because it doesn't kill animals to make, and I'm not a vegan.

All Indian Vegetarians include Cow's Milk and Milk products(Curd,Butter milk,Butter,Butter-oil,Cheese) in their diet.They do not say it is Vegetarian-they know Milk comes from Animal-because thereis no KILLING of Animal involved they think it is O.K.Vegetarians on Religious beleifs(Hindu "Saiva"and "Vaishno"/buddhists and Jains) do NOT include Mushroom,& Egg.There was no "Vegan" concept in India.Only now they "Ape" the Western Vegans.

Well, alot of cheeses have rennet which comes from the fat and bones of dead animals. There are many vegetarian cheeses available. On the back of cheese packets, rennet is mostly reffered to as enzymes.

Actually most Indians don't think egg is vegetarian. They have no problem with dairy products because they see the cow as a "mother" giving her gift of milk to them. That is part of the reason the cow is sacred.

some cheese is vegetarian food but processed cheese is not at least not in america since its made by animal rennet processed usually in a cows third stomach. other cheese uses enyzmes thats are fungal or vegetable based instead of animal based enyzmes. you usually have to check with the company to find out what enyzmes they used. if enough people have asked they'll put it of faq list.
