Answers:
Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products[1] [2]!. The reasons for choosing vegetarianism may be related to morality, religion, culture, ethics, aesthetics, environment, society, economy, politics, taste, or health!.
Hi this is the definition from wikipedia, which I personally agree with!. And so by going what you have stated you eat a vegetarian diet!. You shouldn't worry about titles/labels too much, just eat the diet you are happy with! :)
If you are concerned about the source of your eggs, try and find a local farmer which might allow you to see how the hens are treated!. If they are treated humanely, the farmer shouldn't have any qualms about letting you look round!.
There's some really scrumptious vegan chocolate you can buy, use this link http://www!.ethicalsuperstore!.com/categor!.!.!. they have a few vegan bars!. Other brands to try are, Divine, Plamil, Green & Blacks, Organica, check the label, they state if they are vegan or vegetarian!
Cheese is quite a difficult one to give up, although there are dairy free cheeses( look in your health food shops) and some are quite pleasant, they are very different to cheese and the taste takes a bit of getting used to, this is just my experience!

if you are commited to not eating meat, you can say you are a vegetarian!. that's different than someone saying they're vegetarian just because they happened to not eat any meat in a few days, haha!.
it shouldn't be too hard to find vegan chocolate!. some dark chocolates are vegan, and you should be able to find other vegan chocolates at a health food store!.
I'm in the place as you though, when it comes to cheese!. I need to do some taste-testing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The initiation fee is $25 payable to me :)
I'd say you've been a vegetarian for "almost a month" now, since that's when you said you've stopped eating flesh!. There is no set criteria as far as time goes, you're a vegetarian at heart when you decide to make the change, and you're a vegetarian in practice when you shop, cook, and eat vegetarian foods!.
Good work on your new lifestyle and keep it up!. Cheers! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you like cheese you can be a lacto (dairy) vegetarian!. A lacto-ovo vegetarian eats eggs and dairy!. If you want crulty free eggs you need to get your own hens, or find someone locally, where you know they are being kind to their hens!. I'm new to this stuff myself and I'm gonna be a lacto-ovo vegetarian!.
BTW: I don't need some stupid Veggie membership card!. I do what is right for me, it's all about personal choices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

veganism doesn't consume any animal products of any sort!. vegetarianism is a lil bit different, it has several variants that allow some use of animal products like eggs and cheese!. my take on the subject is it really depends on the individuals personal beliefs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
People that don't eat meat usually get labeled as vegetarian!. I don't eat meat, but I don't call myself a vegetarian!. I think these kinds of labels create a division among people!. I would use the term vegetarian for simplicity and convenience, for example at a restaurant I would ask if there were any vegetarian specials or something like that!. Or if someone asked me if I was a vegetarian I would simply answer yes!.
I know the "member of the club" thing you're talking about!. I guess it could be good for bringing people together, but in my personal experience it works the other way around and just gives people another excuse to point out that you are different than them!. For some reason there are a lot of people out there who are offended by the idea of people who don't eat meat!. Maybe it's a regional thing!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
