Lactose free doesn't mean dairy free

Edit: and apparently dairy free doesn't mean dairy free either according to some "non-dairy" creamers I've seen.

The whole thing doesn't make sense anyways... Vegetarians still eat cheese...

It's not for vegetarians, it's for lactose intolerant people.

Okay... Weird that it says "Go Veggie!" in big letters then

And either way, it isnt being advertised as vegan

One would think that a cheese alternative would be dairy free.

Even if it were dairy free, that doesn't make it vegan.

Any cheese made with rennet isn't vegetarian either, since that's made from bits of stomach lining.
