Is orgainc dairy vegetarian?!
Answers: Before I became a vegetarian, I used to LOVE dairy; yogurt in specific. I used to buy an organic brand of yogurt; is it entirely free of dairy? I'd like to know before I begin to buy it again. Thanks!
Organic doesn't mean that the cows roamed free in the fields
It means that the cow was eating organic grains, not full of pesticides, anti-biotics or genetically modified.

The best vegetarian is a smart vegetarian.
So, do you know that some vegetarians eat eggs and dairy? They are called ovo (egg) Lacto (dairy) vegetarian. If you are strict vegetarian or vegan, then no, you wouldn't eat eggs and dairy...or any other animal product.
As for yogurt, either way my friend, you are in luck. You can buy soy milk yogurt or rice milk yogurt...I have never tried them.
I have on the other hand, blended silken tofu with fruit...that is pretty darn yummy. I also make smoothies with it and certain desserts.
:) Have yourself a great weekend.
EDIT TO ADD: Are you asking if there is gelatin in it? Some do have gelatin which is not veggie, but most don't.
No it's called organic because it comes from cows who ate organic food. If you want to avoid dairy you can get soya yogurt at health food stores. It's quite good.
no, you can't make a yoghurt without dairy, organic means that the cows roamed in a field happy.

Vegetarians generally eat dairy. It's vegans that avoid all animal products, including dairy.
If you want to eat yogurt, you can do so and still call yourself a vegetarian. If you want to stop eating dairy, then go with soy milk yogurt.
When dairy products are organic, it just means that the animals are fed organic foods and are not treated with drugs to stimulate milk production, etc.
Organic or not, some yogurts are not vegetarian because they contain gelatin (especially the fat free versions). Read the label.
Uhm no, there is dairy. You need dairy in order to make it. But actually you can get this soy yogurt stuff, I've seen it and it's made by Silk (that's the name of it, and all their products are dairy free, safe for people with dairy allergies AND it's vegan (: ). By the way, it's surprisingly good.
When they say it's organic it means that no hormones, drugs, or synthetic chemicals were used on the cows, and they don't eat food that has was made with pesticides, or other animal products, etc [yes some farmers feed their cows with food made from other animals].
Oh and by the way, don't listen to that one lady, organic doesn't mean that they roamed fields happy and freely, if they "roam fields freely" it means that they were free range.
Edit: If your a lacto vegetarian, why do you care if it has dairy? And, I forgot, try organic soy yogurt, probably from health food stores.
[PS, if you buy the organic yogurt you like, make sure you read the label just to be safe!]
Organic yogurt is not necessarily lacto-vegetarian but more likely to be since organic food stuffs tend to have fewer and more natural ingredients. Some yogurt has gelatin added to make it creamier, you will have to read the label to see.
You should try soygurt... its organic soy yogurt and it comes in lots of yummy flavors. You can buy it at health food stores. Its organic and completely dairy free.
no, its just organic. if you want something vegetarian, you should eat soy. it tastes just like the real thing and comes in many different vegetarian forms. they have soy milk, soy yogurt, soy nuggets, soy patties, soy everything for vegans!
Not necessarily. For example, organic cheese made from organic milk may have organic rennet from an organic calf slaughtered organically, but it sure isn't vegetarian. Of course, you can look for rennet-free cheese,
No, organic dairy is dairy.
Dairy products are vegetarian, but not vegan. Lacto-ovos eat/drink dairy products.
It's full-dairy and probably not even truely organic.
