Question:

Im vegiterian but i still drink milk and people say im not vegiterian?

what's the problem with drinking milk?


Answers:
they mistaken you for a vegan. tell them you're a vegetarian, NOT a vegan. if the animal doesn't have to die, then it's all good.

You are a lacto vegetarian which is still a vegetarian. Tell people that your vegetarism is your own and you'll make the rules for your own life.

Your a vegetarian nothing is wrong with milk its just the vegans that wont drink it because it comes from animals.

None, the problem is with the people!

Nothing..there are different types of vegans. Some eat eggs...some eat fish or chicken...and some drink milk.

whats the deal with milk im a veggitarian and i like chicken u could call me a chickenarian if u want who cares what they say! u coul be a cownarian god i mean who would care

no

Your dietary choice should be no ones concern but your own. If you eat dairy it is perfectly fine and the Dairy farmers thank you.

it comes from an animal

you are a vegeterian not a vegan.
dont worry vegetarians eat dairy products but vegans dont.
Anyway, if you like something , eat it.
there are no rules in eating habits.
why are u so worried about what they say?. you dont have to apologise to anybody

You can drink milk and still be a vegiterian because getting milk doesn't harm the cow/goat. Now if they misunderstood you and thought you were a "vegan" then they would be right. (vegans are like vegiterians but they don't have dairy products also.)

there wrong. there are diffrent types of vegetarianisim. your a lacto-vegetarian, meaning you still consume dairy products. google diffrent types of vegetariansim.

i discourage consuming milk. a cows milk is disgned for a calf, not a human. would a cow come up and drink a womans milk? i think not. calfs are suppose gain a bunch of weight and there mothers milk helps, but i don't know very many humans that WANT to gain weight. go to the source links and find the articals about milk drinking.

There are many levels of vegetarianism up to and including vegans. Vegans eat no meat, cheese, or animal derivatives. However, the vegans I have known have no problem wearing leather gloves and leather shoes. I guess it is to whatever level one wishes to take it to. Why not google the 7th Day Adventists. They are vegetarians and very healthy, sensible, and open to questions about their dietary requirements. Googling vegans or vegetarians will also be informative.

Milk is an animal product. I think people may be confusing you with someone who doesn't consume animal products of ANY kind.

the normal term for a vegetarian who eats cheese/eggs/milk etc
is "ovo-lacto vegetarian"
if you eat no animal products then you are "vegan"
but people use words to mean all sorts of things.
some people say they're vegetarian and they eat fish.
go figure.

you are vegetarian but not vegan!! vegetarian do not eat flesh, vegans do not eat any animal products

It depends on why you are a vegetarian. In general, vegans avoid all animal products, but vegetarians may consume dairy.

The People telling you this do not know the differences between Vegetarian and Vegan. You are still a Vegetarian.

Vegans don't drink milk. Vegetarians can (I know I do). They are uneducated and have heard false things about vegetarians, so ignore them. You are still a vegetarian. Do not fret.

You are a vegetarian, just not a vegan. Vegetarians eat milk and eggs. Vegans will not eat anything made with milk or eggs.

You're still vegetarian. lacto-vegetarian (opposed to vegan or other types of vegetarianism.)

But it isn't really ethical to drink milk either, because of the way they milk cows. It isn't killing them, but dairy cows aren't treated humanely. Milk isn't very healthy either. This is why vegans don't drink milk. But you should do what feels best for you, and don't let other people tell you that you're not a "true vegetarian" because you drink milk. You are vegetarian and you're helping animals.

I added some links, the first one is probably best.

Vegetarians just don't eat meat. They still consume eggs and dairy products. You are a vegetarian.

yur kidding right!.......its so mean to the cows..dude being a veg is a politcal statement not a way of healthy eatting ...wake up and taste the tofo..your going to republican hell..for drinking milk..

your a lacto vegetarian only vegan and ovo vegetarians dont drink milk.

u r so still a vegitarian the definition of a vegitarian is: one who does not eat the actual animal like the meat a vegan is: someone who does not eat animal products like eggs milk fish cheese

It's alright to drink milk when you're a vegetarian. The people telling you that are thinking of veganism. Vegans do not eat any animal products whereas vegetarians just don't eat meat.

You are a vegetarian. You are not vegan, but you are vegetarian.

if u'r vegan it's wrong cause it's an animal product.

its an animal product - just like honey!

The parrot joke

A man had a parrot that could talk. Unfortunately, it swore a lot. In an effort to get the parrot to be quiet, he put him in a cupboard. The parrot continued swearing and after a while the man decided to put the bird in the freezer. After that, the parrot started swearing even more. After a few minutes, he suddenly became quiet. The man opened up the freezer and the parrot said, "I'm sorry, sir, it will never happen again." As the man took the bird out of the freezer he wondered what the difference was between the cupboard and the freezer. Just then, the parrot said, "So, uh, what'd the chicken do?"

Isn't it wierd that we drink milk, stuff designed to nourish baby cows? How did that happen? Did some cattleman once say, "Oh, man, I can't wait till them calves are done so I can get me a hit of that stuff."

A missionary was walking in Africa when he heard the ominous sound of a lion behind him. "Oh Lord," prayed the missionary, "Grant in Thy goodness that the lion walking behind me is a good Christian lion." And then, in the silence that followed, the missionary heard the lion praying too: "Oh Lord," he prayed, "We thank Thee for the food which we are about to receive."

A vivisector is having a nightmare: lying on a cold steel table, he's going numb as a giant rat approaches with a large knife.
The rat says, "We are going to need those kidneys, my friend."
"Wait!" shouts the vivisector. "I understand that I'm going to die, but just tell me, is it for the good of humanity?"
"Something like that," the rat tells him with a smirk. "It's for the good of two manatees."
