I have a bit of a rant/complaint. I am vegetarian. For medical reasons. I cannot eat dairy or eggs or meat or else I break out in psoriasis and eczema.
I have always told people the difference between Vegetarian and Veganism, is the difference between saying you're agnostic or Christian. There are strict Vegetarians out there who do not consume any animal products, but the reasons for being vegetarian may not be ethical reasons. Or vegetarians may still use animal products like leather, etc. [I don't use leather because I'm poor and it's expensive, hahahaa]
Veganism is an ethical abstinence of all animal products including leather.
I am a strict Vegetarian for medical reasons.
I went to a restaurant with a friend, and was surprised to find a lot of vegetarian options. So knowing me, I got excited. It's rare to find these in Colorado Springs. Well taking a closer look at their options, almost every single one of their vegetarian options had some kind of cream, milk or cheese.
Oh joy. You don't have meat in it. But I'm allergic to dairy so I can't have it.
I'd like restaurants or places of business to use the labels clearly defined for vegetarian subculture. Lacto-vegetarian, Ova-vegetarian, etc.
Because Vegetarian leads me to believe you have at least something for someone who is allergic to dairy and meat to eat something at your place.
I do not eat cheese. I wish some people would understand this. That not all vegetarians eat milk and consume dairy products. Rant/complaint over
