im a vegan but i use fish sauce.?

Question

I consider myself a lactovegan. I don't eat meat, fish, and eggs, but i eat dairy products.I use fish sauce in cooking and in eating, would i still consider myself a lactovegan?

Answer 1

there is no such thing as a lactovegan...its lacto vegetarian. and by definition any vegetarian (lacto, ovo, ovo-lacto) does not eat meat products including fish. so you wouldn't even be considered a vegetarian.

this is technically speaking though. if you want to use fish sauce go ahead, but if you preach about animal rights then you are pretty much contradicting yourself. if you are a vegetarian for other reasons (health, religion, etc) then i don't think its a big deal if you use fish sauce.

Answer 2

Hmmmm, this is a bit confusing. There is no such thing as a lactovegan. Perhaps you meant lacto-vegetarian?

Also, there is no such thing as a fish eating vegetarian.

A vegetarian is a person who does not eat animals.
A vegan is a person who does not eat or use anything that came from or was tested on animals.

I would say to drop the fish sauce (dead fish) and find a vegetarian substitute. Then you would be a lacto-vegetarian, a person who does not eat animals, but does consume dairy.

Answer 3

OMG did someone just make up the term "lactovegan?"
Talk about an oxymoron.

If you are eating dairy and fish sauce you are not only NOT a vegan, but yu are NOT a vegetarian.

It all seems pretty simple to me. I don't know why so many people keep getting confused about these definitions.

Answer 4

There is NO SUCH THING as a lacto-vegan. Vegans do not eat, wear or use ANY products of animal origin whatsoever. Vegetarians may be lacto- (eating dairy) or ovo- (eating eggs) or both, but veganism by it's very definition does not allow these exceptions. And NO vegetarian of any stripe uses fish sauce. It comes from dead animals and vegetarians do not eat dead animals. You are an omnivore just like most of the rest of the world.

Answer 5

Fish sauce is salty liquid fish. So...you're not a vegan. You're not even a vegetarian. Look it up in the dictionary. A good sub for fish sauce is one part soy sauce mixed with one part water. It tastes about the same in any recipe. If you're still morally ok with eating fish sauce then go ahead, all I'm saying is that technically if you do, you're not a vegan.

Answer 6

- Fish sauce contains fish
- Fish are vertebrate animals that live in water
- Vegetarians do not eat animals

So no, not really

There are 3 main types of vegetarian:
* Lacto-ovo: Eats both eggs and dairy products
* Lacto: Includes dairy products but no eggs
* Vegan: Consumes no animal products whatsoever.

You're what some people might call a demi-vegetarian: fish but no meat. There's nothing really wrong with that if that's your preference - you're just not technically a vegetarian.

Answer 7

Sorry but there is no such thing as a lactovegan. Vegans do not use any animal products.
A pescetarian does not eat any meat other than fish. That is what you would be considered.
As other have said it is your choice.

Answer 8

It was a only a matter of time folks....

I knew people would come up with being ______(insert any word i.e. leathero, furo, honeyo, bone charo)vegans

To answer your question: You are not a vegetarian or vegan. If you eat fish, that is meat and veg*ns do not eat meat.

Answer 9

You are an immoral vegan. You are a shame to all vegans. Lay off of the Fish Sauce and get your head back on your shoulders. It doesn't matter if you like you food, we sre in this for the animals. People do not need to like food, that is a myth and misconception.

Answer 10

No. Fish sauce is not vegetarian. I'd suggest buying a vegetarian version. They do exist.
