Can I still consider myself a vegan?

Question

I'm not a vegan for animals rights or anything( but i do think animals shouldnt be killed) anyways my granola bar has "milk ingredients" in it as the LLLLAST ingredient in the granola bar so i was wondering if i could eat it and still consider myself vegan because its not like i drink gallons of milk everyday just once a while a smidge of milk ingreidients in my granola bar.

Answer 1

You should eat what you want.  It is more of WHY you are a vegan.  Like what the other post said, it is just a label.  

If you feel guilty about it than you should chose another granola bar.

Answer 2

Sweetie, just enjoy your granola bar, but eat them in moderation, there's a lot of sugar in them. Vegan is just a label people put on them selfs, there is no club to join or ID card.

BTW: when posting on here it's probably better if you call yourself a strict vegetarian.

Answer 3

No, technically you aren't a vegan, but you are a vegetarian. I would just find a different granola bar if you want to call yourself vegan.

Answer 4

Don't worry so much about labels.  If you advertise that you are a 'vegan', then perhaps you would have to think twice about the granola bar, but seriously, don't worry so much about it.  If you follow certain guidelines that you set for yourself, then  you are fine.

Answer 5

You're not vegan.  Vegans don't eat dairy.

Answer 6

Well, I wouldn't eat it personally.  I'd find a granola bar without milk in it.

Purposely eating animal ingredients is not vegan.  But there are no vegan police, so eat it if you feel OK about it.

Answer 7

no you not a vegan then because no matter what they dont eat dairy or meat so no you arent.

Answer 8

You can still be called a vegan just because you had a teensy amount of milk in your granola bar. It's not like you are doing that everyday. Besides, you should focus on progression not perfection. As long as you are trying your best it's fine :)
