Can you drink milk and eat cheese to be a vegetarian?

[Sarahphim]

I have been a vegetarian for a while and I thought that since you didn't have to kill a cow for meat it was okay to eat cheese and drink milk......... this is really frustrating for me.

 

[corpse_of_a_flower]

Yeah.

Those who don't eat animal products are called vegan

 

[KingHumpty]

I always thought the clue was in the name:

Vegetarian ... "of vegetables".

Are milk products a type of vegetable?
How then can you say they are vegetarian?

 

[Jessiegirl1196]

[imported_brentsbabe]

yes, its the vegans that do not eat any animal by-product.

[Jenna]

Yes.

If you don't drink milk or eat dairy that means you are Vegan.
