Do vegans eat dairy?!


Question: Do vegans eat dairy!?
Someone asked a question recently asking for best vegan recipes!. I gave my recipe for broiled marinated Portabella mushrooms, but the answer that got best answer involved cheese!. I am not a vegetarian, (although I do cook meatless meals 3 times a week) but I was under the impression that "vegan" meant no animal products to include dairy (ie cheese)!. Am I wrong!? Do I need to update my definition of vegan!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You are correct!.

Did you know you are the second 'Michael H' on this forum!? Seems to be a common name!.

I looked at the question (cheese fondue!?)!. It looks like the asker of that question is confused about the difference between veganism and vegetarianism!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO!.

People are the only animals that drink the milk of the mother of another species!. All other animals stop drinking milk altogether after weaning!. It is unnatural for a dog to nurse from a mother giraffe; it is just as unnatural for a human being
to drink the milk of a cow!.

“Vegetarian” is defined as avoiding all animal flesh, including fish and poultry!. Vegetarians who avoid flesh, but do eat animal products such as cheese, milk, and eggs, are ovo-lacto-vegetarians (ovo = egg; lacto = milk, cheese, etc!.)!. The ranks of those who eschew all animal products are rapidly growing; these people are referred to as pure vegetarians or vegans!. Scientific research shows that lacto-ovo-vegetarians are healthier than meat-eaters, and vegans are the healthiest overall!.

No they don't eat anything that comes from animals!. Like they won't even eat cookies becasue they have animal fat in them (shortening) They eat things like veggies and bagles with peanut butter on them or bagles with spagheti sauce!.

No animal producs, no cheese, no cake, (eggs in it), Most of them are crazy strict about it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

veganism is generally a lifestyle, which includes no animal products

the cheese in the recipe could be substituted with vegan "cheese" that could be made of soy or other stuff, so the person who picked the best answer may have had that in mind!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, you are right!. Vegans don't eat or use any animal products or animal byproducts--including things like honey, beeswax and silk!. Vegetarians don't eat meat but do use dairy and eggs!. That's my understanding, anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cheese can be a good source or protein!. The key is to get cheese which has more protein than fat!. This is considered healthy eating!. Pass on the other trends, unless you are just working hard to get attention to yourself for your diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegans eat absolutely no animal products!. The only dairy they may consume is made from tofu, rice, or soy!. For the most part, no dairy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

vegans don't use any animal products of any kind!.


I myself am not vegan,

but have practiced lacto-ovotarianism (vegetarian who eats eggs and drinks milk)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I hope they were using soy cheese, since vegens don't eat dairy!.

BTW: no one moderates Yahoo Answers forums, so often the best answer isn't the best answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
