Vegetarians don't eat anything that came from meat. So jello (gelatin) is out. Vegans don't eat anything that has animal origins, period.
yeah, as long as the chips are fried in like vegetable oil. And i think they could eat chocolate. the only thing that a vegetarian would'nt eat is any thing that was killed, so it could be eaten. For example, a vegetarian could eat an egg, but not a chicken. And a vegetarian could drink milk, but couldnt eat a cow.
Hope I helped.
yes many vegetarians do eat those things, but some may not eat candy bars because they contain milk and/or animal products. depends on their personal diet.
I think lacto-ovo vegetarians would have no problem with either of those but I don't think a vegan would touch either because of cheese and possibly granulated sugar (the sugar can be processed with bone char which is not vegan).
I am sure vegans could make their own with appropriate ingredients, like soy cheese or vegan sugar.
Vegetarianism is not a safe or viable diet. Unless you follow extremely strict rules, you cannot survive on it. There is no room in a vegetarian diet for cheetos, candy bars, potato chips or any other junk food. If you are vegetarian, you can no longer afford to eat those things or you WILL get very, very sick.
There are difrent levels of vegans / not casses if you dont eat meat your body lacks posific protiend you can get any were else and chips come from either grain or pototo's unless there total nut cass's then they could eat it.
depends on how strict they are and how the product was made - some will go so far as to not eat things that other animals may need more (like certain nuts because they are not cultivated and reduce availability to wild life.)
I am a vegeterian and have been one for 8 years now. I eat potato chips and stuff like that just not meat. I eat regualr stuff becuase it's not meat. I guess you can be striter though.
My boyfriend's sister is a vegaterian, and she eats chips like a mad woman. She doesn't, however, eat things made with animal grease like gravy and the like. I'm not really sure about the makings of chips, but she's a pretty intense vegetarian, and she loves chips.
well lets face it its hard not to eat a little bit of chips and junk food
, well i do know that candy bars have rat hair in them, i am a vegetarian and i try not to but i do a little
.
Sure they do, they just eat vegetarian chips or chips that don't involve animals or animal biproducts. I am vegetarian and I eat chips, just not cheetos or lays or anything. All the chips I eat are organic and don't have dead animal in them. Like pita chips or organic pretzles :)
Look at the package,if it says lard then that means it was fried in lard,but if not then don't worry about it.
The oddity of it all is back when I was a vegeterian I did eat chips - albeit as that rare snack. Now that I'm eating eggs and fish, I cut out all sugars, empty snacks and refined starches, no exceptions.
If you want to eat chips you can, but you really should look at the ingredients in the chips before you buy. Some chips do use lard or trans fats but there are other brands like Kettle Chips that use oils like canola or olive. If you do eat chips it might do you well to make a fresh tomatoe-bean dip. Like any well ballanced diet though, snack foods such as chips and candies should be eaten in moderation.
As for cheetos - I'm pretty sure there's milk in there, and candy bars also have milk - if the ingredients check out it would be acceptable in a vegeterian diet but I don't think it's necessarily a healthy addition. Dark bitter chocolate would be better instead of something like Snickers or Mars bars which are just empty calorie foods filled with sugar and unhealthy fats.
When I was a vegeterian I ate lots of grains, nuts, legumes, whole grain starches, fruits, vegetables (this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/brassicacea... veggie family in particular is my favorite), avocado, mushrooms, kelp, soy/tofu, seaweed, miso, spices, a veggie burger now and then, some other stuff I'm likely forgetting about, and a food supplement called Red Star Yeast.
If you are going to eat foods prepared by someone else (say a company) then you have to read labels. If it says anything else besides vegetable oil/ safflower oil/ canola oil/ sunflower oil/ palm oil, then I would not eat it since I am a vegan. As an organic vegan I wouldn't eat any root vegetable unless it was organic. This is because root vegetables tend to take in all the pesticides (which potatoes need alot of since the Colorado potato beetle is everywhere) from the soil.I would also look for NON Trans-Fat type of chip, in order to not take in that kind of oil (partially hydrogenated or even fully hydrogenated oil) as it is toxic to your digestive tract (can cause IBS).
Your friends maybe trying to keep you off of junkfood, and use your vegetarianism as a good excuse. As a vegan, I figure since I care so much about the suffering of animals, I might as well consider myself an animal and make sure I don't make my body suffer for my tastebuds also.
