Nope, not a lactose intolerance unfortunately.
I am highly allergic to milk and whey proteins
Lactose is pretty much the only part of milk I can have
So basically if I have milk, I go into anaphylaxis, throat swells and I potentially suffocate.
I'd take lactose intolerance over this anyday

Wow, it sucks to be you!
So you can't have any dairy; just supplements?

I eat them anyway, but i think to be honest, i've lost sight of why i'm a veggie now so ill happily eat meat crisps or haribo, its just a very difficult thing to change back from!
If youre a veggie cos you dont like the taste then fair enough dont eat the crisps but i dont see why not if its an ethical choice and theyre meat free

I agree about it being difficult to change back from, and I only became a vegetarian because I wasn't that keen on meat.
I actually like the taste of some meat crisps even though I don't like meat, particularly McCoys Flame Grilled Steak. My friend who is a vegetarian for ethical reasons doesn't eat them or gelatine, but does eat fish sometimes. It depends on the person I guess.

I changed to veggie after being bullied by my 'friends' 6 years ago and ive never really had the courage to eat meat again... i dont know what im afraid of but something is really stopping me from going anywhere near it
As long as it is veggie suitable then yes. It's not about the taste. Meat tastes good. Fact. If I can have that taste without an animal being killed, then good times all round!

Pretty much
I used to drink SMA wysoy (soya baby formula ) but its not really much of an issue not having milk now Im older Original post by Jellybean91

that sounds like hell!It is pretty annoying... Constantly having to check things for milk, asking in cafes if they use milk ect. But by far, the most annoying thing about it is when people ask 'so you cant have ice cream, chocolate, or cheese?!' and say how sorry they feel for me...
You cant miss something you've never had can you!
Im guessing you know what its like though, lactose intollerance must be pretty much the same thing
Ah well you get used to it

What's wrong with Haribo?
They're just sweets...

They have gelatin in them.
Therefore, you're a stupid vegetarian.

I can assure you, 100% that they have milk in.
As do the salt and vinegar ones.
No, I'm not a vegan, Im bloody well allergic to milk

Yeah thought they probably did, didn't want to say outright.
Surprised about the salt and vinegar ones having milk in though, guess you found that out the hard way, eh?
But I'm a vegetarian, not a human point-maker. They don't contain meat, ergo I can eat them. And I think they taste gooood

yep.
They didn't have milk in for years and years and then all of a sudden they decided to add milk... Bastards

Well yeh of course!! If you're against the slaughter of animals, you're not exactly gonna go wear a suede jacket or buy a new leather sofa!
Cos they taste rank. Why would I opt for meat crisps when there are much nicer flavours out there?

They have geletine (sp?) (crushed animal bones) in them
I'm vegetarian and eat them though but i'm not 100% vegetarian for ethical reasons, more lifestyle, dietary and environmental reasons.
I don't eat meat/bbq flavoured crisps, but that's because they are nasty tasting!

Hi all,
I was eating lunch with a few friends, one of whom is a vegetarian and another who is a vegan, and we somehow we started talking about why they dont eat meat flavoured crisps. I mean its not like they have any meat in them and and half the time they dont even taste like any meat. They told me that it was simply a matter of princaple, however they dont actually contain any meat, so it did seem quite odd. Then my vegan friend told me that tey dont even eat cheese and onion, that just seemed farfetched, but hey, at least i get to enjoy the delights of cheese and onion, and flame grilled steak... mmmmmmm....
Do any vegetarians here eat meat flavoured crisps or is it a general consencus between you that you dont?

i don't really like the taste of meaty crisps but otherwise i have eaten them seen as they are suitable for vegetarians. i'm guessing your vegan friend probably just doesn't eat cheese and onion crisps seen as it contains cheese? (which vegans don't eat.)

My boyfriend has been Vegetarian from birth, mostly for health reasons I believe.
He won't eat meat flavoured crisps. I'm not sure why, not for any 'principle' or ethical reason, he just said he'd find it too weird.

I've been a vegetarian from birth for similar reasons and i'm a bit the same - its a bit freaky but I do know they're 100% meat free and if I liked the taste then I wouldn't judge anyone for eating them
