When you're a vegetarian, can you still eat...?!

YES, If your are a Lacto-ovo Vegetarian.

Mostly yes however..

Cheese may have rennet (usually labeled as "enzymes" on the label) which often comes from the calves stomach, though they do make vegetarian rennet you'd have to call the company and ask, there are also lists of vegetarian cheeses on the internet.

Also your yogurt may have gelatin, so you'll have to read the label. Gelatin comes from hooves, horns, and bone marrow of pigs and cows.

The most popular form of vegetarianism is lacto-ovo vegetarianism.
Lacto means diary, and ovo means egg. So yes, a vegetarian can eat eggs, dairy products, cheese, ect.
But i would be careful about the yogurt and cheeses. Many vegetarians don't consume rennet, lard, or gelatin. Gelatin is basically mashed up animal bones, and it found in MANY yogurts (Yoplait is a main one). Rennet is the lining of a calf's stomach, and can e found in some cheeses (not all of them though).

Eggs are fine.
Some cheese is okay, but watch out for animal rennet.
Milk is fine.
Some yogurt is okay, but watch out for gelatin.

Of course, this is assuming you are a lacto-ovo-vegetarian.

Eggs, yes.
Cheese, yes. Just watch out for rennet.
Milk, yes.
Yogurt, yes. Just be sure it doesn't have gelatin in it if it is low fat.

Yes, you can. When you are a vegan, you can't, because milk and eggs come from animals, and cheese and yogurt are made of milk.

yes if you don't eat any animal products you are called vegan. if you eat no other meat but fish you are pescestarian and if you eat no meat including fish/chicken you are vegetarian.

yes, people who dont eat animal products are called vegans.

if your vegetarian you can still eat those things, so dont worry. Its not a problem

Most vegetarians do consume these things but you would need to eat gelatin free yogurt and animal rennet free cheese.

Yes. Dairy products are acceptable.
