Can I be vegan but still eat dairy? I was just wondering if it was possible to be vegan but still eat dairy? I have this really severe nut allergy,  and soya beans look so cute in their little pods and all that I couldn't stand to see them turned into tofu and cheese. I really love animals, and I can't bare to be a murderer and have all those bacon - lives hanging over my head. And if I eat dairy, all the little calves will grow up to be happy and dance around in fields, because nothing bad ever happens to calves, right? I'll be such a good vegan otherwise, not even my cat will get meat!
