vegan cheese: Someone asked what I was as a vegeterian , I can't be certain so I only said veggie until I got the facts straight. Help me out! Be honestly and nice pls: I only eat veggies and fruits a lot on daily basic all wheat instead white Organic cheese (Tree of life) sometimes if local market doesn't have my kind vegan cheese Only drink vegan milk eat store-bought chips , ceral, and cake only if it doesnt contain milk, cheese other than that I eat vegan foods mostly In the beginning I used buy organic chips because I was not sure which one is vegan. I buy and eat a lot of organic foods when necessary. I got mayo that is vegan made with no egg|||You sound like mostly vegan that does eat cheese, (and I do not think cheese, esspecially local or organic is so bad, it is good calcium). They may have just wanted to know what foods were safe to serve in your company. If this is why they asked it would be easier on them as hosts to just say vegan, except I will eat organic cheeses.|||Yes non technical easy to understand answers usually work better for most people who just are doing thier best to accomodate your dietary preferances. We host a lot of dinners for bible studies and it can get a little tricky sometimes for the hosts to ensure all will eat and have a good time.

You don't drink cow's milk but you do eat cheese. I'm not being mean, but organic cheese is made from milk. If you eat things with milk but not eggs you are a lacto vegetarian If you eat things with eggs but not milk you are an ovo vegetarian If you eat things with eggs and milk you are a lacto ovo vegetarian|||you're awesome :) haha i'd say you're generally vegan :D|||If there aren't any eggs in the cakes and baked goods that you eat, you're a lacto-vegetarian. If there are eggs in them (or you eat eggs in another form, such as fresh pasta or on their own), you are an ovo-lacto ("standard") vegetarian. While eating whole grains instead of processed is a great, healthful choice, it doesn't have any bearing on your status as a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Ditto for organic foods. While they are (depending on the type) better for you and the environment, it doesn't have an impact on whether you are a vegetarian or what kind. Just for your reference: - A vegetarian who eats eggs or egg-based ingredients but no dairy is an ovo-vegetarian. - A vegetarian who eats dairy products, by-products, or ingredients (but no egg) is a lacto-vegetarian. - A vegetarian who eats both is an ovo-lacto vegetarian. This is the most common type and what most people mean when they refer to vegetarians. - A person who eats neither follows a vegan diet. (They may not be a vegan depending on other parts of their lifestyle.)|||If you consume dairy, but no egg or meat then you're lacto-vegetarian. If you consume dairy and eggs, you're ovo-lacto-vegetarian. Organic doesn't make a difference.|||The additional info ended up making no sense. You were rambling and not making sense. Here are soemthings to keep in mind: Organic does NOT mean vegitarian or vegan and has Nothing to do with either. Since you do actually eat cheese on occasion I wold say you are a lacto vegitarian. Reading ingredients lables does bot take that long. I don't ubdertsand the coment about staying in the same place for an hour or more. And if they are labeled as Vegan they Must be vegan. You uare not vegan, store bought cakes, and cereals will contain sugar (not vegan) and usually white flours-not vegan. Also some dyes that are not vegan.
