Well,Milk is a non - vegan or strict vegetarian food. But milk is a pro lacto-ovo vegetarian and lacto vegetarian food. Pesco and pollo "vegetarians" only regard themselves as such. Carnivores revile vegetarians, so that term doesn't impress them. And vegetarians regard seafood and poultry or birds as not permissible.
It depends on your idea of 'vegetarian'. For most people, milk is vegetarian, but for strict vegetarians, dairy products are non-veg.
Milk is not a food, milk is a drink. Milk is a vegetarian drink though.
Vegetarianism is limited to avoiding the consume of animals only, which is why some vegetarians agree to have the product (milk, butter, etc.) but not the animal itself. Of course this is more of a choice, so it may vary. However, those who don't consume any animal products are categorized as vegans, and these avoid all animal products, including milk, obviously.
