Vegans: I am new at this, is it bad if I still want to eat fish, eggs, milk & cheese?!
Answers: I'm Technically not a vegan right??
Bad? Uh, It's your choice isn't it?
None of the foods that you listed are part of the vegan diet.

Not even vegetarians eat fish.
===============
OMG, there is no such thing as a "lacto-ovo-vegan".
The term is lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Strict vegetarians do not eat dairy or eggs.
it depends if you do eat fish, eggs etc then no your not. If you dont eat them but just want to then yes you are.
You are not a vegan, nor a vegetarian.
but, good for for kicking out the "land" meat, it does a lot for animal welfare and helps reduce cruelty
what the heck is a " lacto-ovo vegan", i can't even be bothered to write to that person to help them learn. What would be the point ?
I guess he'd also say if i ate burgers i would be a "beef-vegetarian", or is that a "beef-vegan" ?
hello, no its not bad if you still want to eat fish, you have to do what you want to do.
if you cut out the fish(and all meat) and still eat eggs milk and cheese then you could be a vegetarian.
if they are available to you ,try and get free range eggs(local if possible) and try organic milk and cheese! :)
vegans dont eat meat/fish/eggs/milk/cheese or anything that comes from an animal.
If you eat fish, you're not even a vegetarian.
Ovo-lacto vegetarians will eat dairy and eggs. There's no such thing as a ovo-lacto vegan.
Vegans eat no animal foods whatsoever (including honey), and avoid animal products in their lives.
As for whether it's "bad," that's a decision you have to make on your own.
Thats not even veggie. Vegan is no meat, fish, eggs, milk and honey,
It's not *bad* if you still *want* to eat those things, but it's not *vegan* if you *do* eat them.
It's not even vegetarian if you eat fish, you know, dead animal and all.
Eat it all if you want, call yourself a pescetarian so you don't complicate the lives of veg*ns, and maybe work towards actual veg*nism in the future. If it's important to you, it's not hard to give all of that up.
(There is no such thing as a lacto-ovo-vegan - it utterly defies the definition of vegan. There is such a thing as a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but they don't eat fish, so that is still not what you would be.)
It is a mortal sin and if you do not banish those thoughts you will end up in vegan Hades.
Congratulations! You are a flexitarian vegan. A flex vegan is one whose diet is primarily a vegan diet, but will include healthy options such as fish, dairy and eggs in their diet. The benfits include a healthy diet and not being restricted to the embarrassing social stigmas that vegans are restricted to. You will be able to be not labeled as the crazy vegan friend whose diet dictates whereever we go and everything we do friend. Good luck, it sounds as if you will make an excellent flex vegan. Welcome to our club of sophisticated eaters.
your neither a vegetarian, nor a vegan.
vegetarians do not eat meat or fish. but somepeople do class themselves as a vegetarian if they have just cut out meat.
if you find it hard to stop eating dairy products such as eggs, milk and cheese you can get replacements. like soya milk and stuff like that.
if you live in the UK most food stores sell soya products, also if you are going to become a vegan you need to make sure you get things like margarine/butter all vegan aswell. Dairy-free products are sold most places these days but theres also a store called 'Holland and Barett' this is like a general health store where you can get all vegetarian and vegan food from. Meat-free and dairy-free products are sold there, all the soya products that you need
Vegans eat NOTHING that is a by-product of animals...nor do they utilize anything that was made by taking the life of/abusing/exploiting another living thing (animal)...that includes leather, silk, etc...
You would be called a lacto-ovo vegan, not a true vegan, but still eating healthy.
