Am i vegetarian or vegan?!

Am i vegetarian or vegan?

i was a pescetarian for a while, who also indulged in ice cream. since then i gave up fish, milk, and anything else animal related. i don't wear leather or wool. i guess that would make me vegan... BUT i don't check the ingredients of over-the-counter pain killers or fortified juices. so can i call myself vegan or would that make me vegetarian? i could look it up myself, but i'm curious to see what you all have to say.

about the fortified juice: there are some apple juices which fortify using nutrients gained from animals. i'm not sure which ones, but i'm attending a peta party on wednesday and i'll find out.

I would check the ingredients in OTC medicines to ensure there is no gelatin. Liquigels and gelcaps are frequently made with gelatin, so you want to avoid those. I try to avoid conventional medicine also, but I will take it when nothing else works on my headache. But I look for formulas that don't have lactose (in some pills, especially homeopathic remedies) and gelatin.

You sound like an imperfect vegan. Aren't we all? But do be more cautious about reading labels.
