Answer 3

if your truly NOT qa vegetarian then no. Why? because it comes from AnMIMALS.

Answer 4

yes. "vegetarian" is short for "lacto-ovo vegetarian" which, by definition, is someone that eats NO meat (including fish, poultry) but DOES consume dairy and eggs, as those were not directly causing animal death.

VEGANS do  not eat any animal products including eggs, milk, sometimes even honey..

Answer 5

Depends. There are 2 types of vegetarians: "Lacto-vegetarians" and strict vegetarians; a.k.a "Vegans".

Lacto-vegetarians can eat and drink dairy product, hence 'lacto'. But vegans don't; they won't eat any animal product, even if it doesn't involve killing the animal. This could be for enviornmental, health or ethical reasons.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer 8

it depends whether you're a strict vegan or not - check the definition of vegetarian

Answer 9

Answer 10

well cheese is made from milk. so what i'm a bout to say about milk applies to cheese aswell. there are two types of vegetarians out there, ones who don't eat meat because they think its gross, and ones who don't eat meat because they think its cruel. If you are the veggie who thinks eating meat is gross, because it's animal carcas, milk is animal bodily fluid (equally as gross). for those veggies who think eating meat and slaughtering animals is wrong, milk harms cows aswell, by mechanically impregnating them and hurting them and causing them oozy infections (which yes goes INTO the milk!) ofcourse you can be both kind of veggies too. good luck! :)

Answer 11

yes you can but some vegetarians choose not to

Answer 12
