Sounds like vegetarian. If you want to add "lacto", that’s up to you. We’d need more info. to know if you’re vegan.

Kate, I just wanted to let you know that you need to get in the good habit of checking the labels. If you’re not wanting to consume ANYTHING with animal bi-products in them, that is.

A lot of foods, especially canned or already processed, contain beef oil. Gelatin is made from bones. So on and so forth.

You are a lacto-vegetarian

That is a person who eats no meat products at all, like you, but does drink milk

you are close to being a vegan diet wise(it’s the milk that makes you vegetarian and not vegan) , but vegans also buy only cruelty free products (not tested on animals and such)

you’re a lacto.

You don’t actually say if you eat dairy

If you do, some people will describe you as a lacto-vegetarian, but I think that’s a crap phrase indicating a desire to pigeonhole people, and is actually rarely used outside of epic tired discussions on what a vegetarian is. Vegetarian is good enough for me.

I mean, do you ever pick up some food and see a label that says - suitable for`lacto vegetarians, do you ? No. Campaign against stupid obfuscation of language.

If you don’t eat any dairy or any animal products, you are a vegan Excellent, welcome to the club. If not, you are doing well anyway.

You’re a lacto-vegetarian. ‘Lacto’ means milk. ‘Uvo’ means eggs. If you ate eggs too, you would be an uvo-lacto vegetarian. If you ate eggs, but not dairy, you would be an uvo-vegetarian.

To be a vegan, you need to eat and wear no animal products. If you are strict, this includes honey and you also need to check all labels and know the hidden animal ingredients. If you have cheese, did you know that rennet usually comes from the fourth stomach of a calf or kid - after slaughterunless it is labeled non-animal rennet or vegetable rennet? Some rennet that is labelled non-animal rennet is actually genetically engineered and originally came from a slaughtered cow.

Lacto-Vegetarian.

ur a vegan…

You aren’t a vegetarian. You are a vegan. Vegans don’t get anything that comes from animal such as eggs, cheese and especially meat. You are closer to a vegan than a vegetarian.

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products), fish (including shellfish and other sea animals) and poultry. There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and/or some products produced from animal labour such as dairy products and honey.

A vegan diet is a form of vegetarianism which excludes all animal products from the diet, such as meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs and honey. Those who practice veganism for ethical reasons exclude animal products from their diet as part of a larger practice of abstaining from the use of animals for any purpose (e.g. leather), often out of support for animal rights.

Most vegetarians consume dairy products, and many eat eggs. Lacto-vegetarianism includes dairy products but excludes eggs, ovo-vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy, and lacto-ovo-vegetarianism includes both eggs and dairy products.

Semi-vegetarianism consists of a diet largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish and sometimes even poultry, as well as dairy products and eggs. The association of semi-vegetarianism with vegetarianism in popular vernacular, particularly pescetarianism (also called pesco-vegetarianism and described as a "vegetarian" diet that includes fish has led to what vegetarian groups cite as improper categorisation of these diets as vegetarian. The Vegetarian Society, which initiated popular usage of the term vegetarian as early as 1847, condemns the association of semi-vegetarian diets as valid vegetarianism; the organisation points out that the consumption of fish is not vegetarian.

For some reason I am going to say you’re a vegetarian bc if you were a vegan, you would know. They are avid label readers bc powdered milk is in soooo much stuff! Hope that blurb helps you out.

you sound like me.
the only thing i consume from animals is cheese and honey.
which is on very rare occasions.
and i only eat eggs/milk if they’re in baked treats and such.
so if you still eat chocolate and brownies and stuff like that, you’re not a vegan.

i’m just a vegetarian.

edit:
and if you still consume milk, soy milk is a great alternative especially for people with lactose-intolerance (like myself). and it tastes exactly the same when you substitute it in for milk when cooking.

I’m not coming to your place for dinner,I would die from boredom.
