I was a veg for 25 years and ate cheese. I did try to find cheeses that didn't come from mass-milking mills though.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Heh. I'm lactose-intolerant too, but not enough to give up cheese. Or ice cream. Or yogurt. Or cottage cheese. Mmm, cheese.
But I do buy Lactaid for milk, which freaking rocks. And in addition to being tasty lactose-free milk (I used to hate milk as a child.) it has an inexplicably long shelf life. Like, four times as long as regular milk. In my house where milk doesn't go fast, it's really economical for us to be able to buy it and have it around for a while.

Vegetarian means no meat, vegan means no animal products.

According to this [link] all US available soy formulas contain vitamin D which is dervied from lanolin, which is derived from sheep's wool, so they are not technically vegan for the extreme purists.
Even so, that web page notes that soy milk is NOT an acceptable substitute for infants.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yes! Me, too. I love being able to drink milk without fear of intestinal issues, plus the long shelf life is wonderful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I know people who buy Lactaid milk just for the long shelf life.

The last time I tried Lactaid milk, it tasted like chalk and had a weird texture. Have they improved the formula in the last few years?

I dunno, Jessica. It tastes great to me. It doesn't taste or feel any different than regular milk to me, other than it doesn't make me sick.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know, I'm almost tempted to check out the vegan boards to check out their take on the... bad thing that happened....

Damn. The Vegan baby folks got sentenced to life in prison.
I mean, they were extremely stupid, but....
