vegan cheese: I eat no meat what so ever, I do not drink milk (I drink soy milk), I don't eat cheese, butter, yogurt, or eggs (I eat vegan cheese, vegan butter, vegan yogurt). But if I do eat products with milk, cheese, or eggs in them. So for example if I am eating cake and its made with milk and eggs I will eat it. I am not fully vegan but I am part vegan am I not? Is there a special name for this?|||No there is no such thing as a part vegan or semi-vegan or anything of that nature it is not possible. The definition has always been quite clear. Plus you only describe some dietary aspects and veganism has always been more than just diet. It sounds like to me you are just a vegetarian who occasionally eats some food that is free of animals and ingredients taken from them. You either fit the definition of veganism or you just aren't vegan however in this modern age their is no reason to exploit anybody else so there is really no reason not to be vegan. Here is the definition so you are aware. "The word 'veganism' denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to end the idea of animals as property and exclude all forms of intentional exploitation of, use of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, research or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, including people and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals." Edit: A strict vegetarian does not eat any products taken from animals at any point no eggs, no dairy products, no honey...it is a completely animal free diet (however it is not veganism because it is only diet based) You/she would not be a strict vegetarian unless they stopped eating animal products completely.|||You eat no meat. So you're a vegetarian. You eat foods containing dairy and eggs. You don't mention buying consumer products from companies whose distributors conduct animal toxicity tests. You don't mention avoiding buying or wearing fur, leather, silk, wool, or clothing trimmed in them. You don't mention avoiding frequenting zoos, circuses, rodeos, aquariums, or other venues where animals are held in captivity or forced to perform for human entertainment and profit. So no way in hell are you a vegan of any kind.|||Vegetarian. If it comes up you can say that you only eat those things when they're pre-prepared and mixed into something but you never cook at home with those items or eat them alone. I kind of like the term Vegish. But really, don't do it for the label. And if you're mostly vegan already, why not take the full 'plunge'? It's easy. And you will reap the full benefits of peaceful, healthy eating.|||Non-vegan. Veganism is an all-encompassing lifestyle that follows from the ideal of not using (commodifying) animals for anything, as far as possible. Not for food, not for clothes etc. etc. You are a lacto-ovo vegetarian who limits his/her consumption of eggs and dairy. Which is a good thing, but in no way vegan.|||Just say you're strict vegetarian. Most of us strict vegetarians stay away from anything from a slaughtered animal, like meat, meat byproducts, and leather and fur. We still consume eggs and dairy, but honestly, I eat as small amounts as I can.|||a vegan is one who has NO part of animals, food, what they produce (e.g. honey), or products made of Animals. You did not mention that you prohibit animal made products. so at this point sounds like you're vegetarian, not a vegan. no leather, feathers, honey, milk, eggs, meat|||Depends on who you ask. Do you know how hard it is to be actually "Vegan"? My sister is and its rediculous. She has to know/keep up with all the "scientific" type names they put on labels that are animal products. I say strict vegetarian...but thats just me...|||There is no such thing as a 'part vegan', you're either a vegan or you're not. But if you really want to label yourself, then what you are is a vegetarian|||You're a vegetarian who eats vegan most of the time. Unfortunately, there are no special names.|||Vegans do not consume animal products, period. Saying you are "sort of vegan" is like saying you were "sort of in a car accident."|||You're a lacto ovo vegetarian. No milk means no milk. No eggs means no egg.|||Yes, It's called a Vegetarian.|||It's called a vegetarian.|||You're either a vegan or you're not. It's as simple as that. I believe you may be vegetarian!|||Do we GOTTA have labels for EVERYTHING? you are what you are .... don't sweat the small stuff!|||Just say you are a strict vegetarian!|||vegetarian there are different levels of vegetarianism|||If you don't eat meat, you're a vegetarian. If you eat eggs and dairy products, you're an ovo lacto vegetarian. Hey, since you're eating some dairy products anyway, why not eat the good cheese, butter and yogurt instead of the fake soy stuff? You've got to be careful with soy. It's been tied to early puberty in girls, low sperm count in men and thyroid disease. If you don't have thyroid disease, some soy is probably ok. Just don't build your diet on soy burgers, soy hot dogs, soy milk, tofu, etc. http://thyroid.about.com/cs/soyinfo/a/so鈥?/a>|||I dont think there is! but i know what you mean though, i went through this stage for a while, you're vegan-esque! :D edit: just HOW has this answer received so many thumbs down? haha...people need to lighten up, or something! :D
