Do/can vegetarians eat dairy products?

Dairy products as in milk, cheese etc is fine. Most vegetarians don't eat eggs. Some who do are considered mostly vegetarians, eggetarians or lacto-ovo vegetarians. Vegan avoid all animal and dairy products. But don't worry about what vegetarians "can" or 'cannot' eat; just think about what you will or will not eat. You and your choice are what is important. Just listen to your own body and intuition and see what seems right to you.

If you want to become a vegetarian then you need to 100% believe that what ur doing is right or it just wont work. I became vegetarian at 13 too and this is 4 years later and i cant imagine ever going back - my beliefs that it is wrong to eat meat have grown during this time. As for vitamins - you will still get calcium, vitamin C etc from dairy products but the 3 main nutrients vegetarians can miss out on are: Iron - this is easy, some everyday breakfast cereals have 100% of iron in them, also dark green vegetables (spinach, broccoli) Protein - this can be hard if u don't like beans, it it also in nuts and seeds, vegetarian cheese and tofu is a good source Vitamin B12 - This is also pretty easy to get - its in wholegrain/wholewheat pasta, bread and cereals Hope this is useful. Best wishes and good luck. Natalie

yes a vegetarian means you can not eat meat, a vegan in the other hand cant eat Anything That Was Made by / Came from an animal so dairy products, eggs and so on
