Forum: Lacto-vegetarians

My mum has been vegetarian for a long time, about 20 or 30 years. She grew up on a farm and she says that the reason she decided to go veggie was because she loved the cows on the farm and found it all a bit cruel and upsetting killing animals and eating them. She gives a lot of money to animal...

1) Is there anything that you might not think about that I should be aware of on the ingredients lists of food to avoid non-vegan foods? 2) Is rice or almond milk sweeter/no after taste when compared to soy milk? 3) Does vegan ice cream and cheese taste anything like regular? Giving up...

I know there are loads of threads around here about people claiming to be vegan but still eating eggs, or vegetarians that eat fish, etc. But I have two short ones I want to share! 1) The partner of a coworker of mine. She's very sweet and friendly, and when I first met her I was excited she...

I just thought I'd highlight this mini project that The Guardian are doing next week to determine the environmental impact of milk production and milk alternatives. They're actively looking for opinions, and I know you're an opinionated bunch :D ...

What do I say to my friend who keeps insisting she's vegetarian apart from eating fish (and this is from someone who knows definitions the entire oxford english dictionary!) and she occasionally eats meat when she's tempted like xmas etc. I said to her that she's not a veggie but she insists...

Ok, so I have a bit of an interesting situation. I'm active in an animal rights club as part of my college, and so discuss animal rights issues with other like minded individuals. Sort of. To my knowledge, I'm the only vegan (there may be one other), though I think the other club members are all...

I'd really appreciate if anybody can answer a few questions which I have about the dairy industry, hopefully giving me more ammo when in discussions about veganism. 1,Are all cows artifically inseminated? 2,Once they have calfs do they continue to produce milk for the rest of their lives if...

Clearly Quorn isn't vegan but on another non-vegan related forum someone has suggeted that it isn't even vegetarian. They say that what it is made from is actually more fauna than flora. Can anyone confirm this?

yMHvMAUDHj4 (I hope that it's ok to post this) I found this video while searching the nutritional values of dairy on YouTube.

Hi, I am in the lookout for a video which is dedicated to cruelty within the diary industry. Plus, something that also highlights the health issues of drinking milk. I have searched but I could only find literature. I need this to show to my vegetarian family, who have boycotted leather and...

An argumentative paper I wrote for a critical thinking class. Toxicities of Milk Over the past few decades, we have been beset and harassed on the “miracle qualities” of milk, how milk will make you big and strong (and do the same to your bones). For a long while, these claims remained...
