Can i eat this?

Question

Velveeta cheese if i am a vegetarian? it says that it has a Whey Protein Concentrate in it

also if butter says that it has "Whey (from milk)" can i eat that?

Answer 1

Yes it is food. That means you can eat it no problem.

Answer 2

The cheese very may well have animal rennet in it.  If it does, it's not vegetarian friendly

Answer 3

The whey is from when they separate the milk into curds and whey. You know, it depends how far you want to go with the vegetarianism thing. I have friends who eat animal products (milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, etc, etc) but do not eat actual meat (dead animals) and consider themselves vegetarians. A few of them also eat fish, but no other animal meat, but most of them just avoid the meat altogether. Then I have friends who consider themselves vegans - No animal meat, no animal products. They totally gear themselves away from the whole animal thing. So I guess it's a choice you'll have to make. Once you give up everything, you really can't go back, or it would be hard. Some of my friends have tried, and they get pretty sick, at least at first. But you can always give up things slowly. Good Luck with whatever choice you make.

Answer 4

If you're ovo-lacto, probably.  Whey is the watery part of milk and is suitable for vegetarians.  You might want to be sure, however, that there is no rennet in the stuff.  Rennet is made from the fourth stomachs of veal calves.

Answer 5

Are you a vegetarian, or a vegan...?

I don't have the ingredient list in front of me, but I'd think Velveeta would be fine for vegetarians--milk, however, is a no-no for vegans.

Answer 6

vegetarians still eat cheese, and sometimes butter.

vegans don't.

vegan don't eat ANY animal products,

vegetarians just don't eat meat [including eggs].

Answer 7

if your not a vegan then yes you can eat it.

Answer 8

if your a true vegetarian.aka vegan... no you can't eat or use anything that's a by-product of animals....(like milk(or the whey from milk!) or even have real leather shoes...)

but if your a lacto-vegetarian... they drink milk and can eat milk products... it depends on what your are
