If you want the nutritional benefits from the vegan viewpoint then it really doesn't matter how much "wrong" stuff you eat. You will still be healthier than most. Milk is an excellent source of calcium and protein. 1% or 2% milkfat will give you the same nutritional value without the added fat. Go For It!!!!!

there are no vegan/vegetarian police so you pretty much can do what ever suits you, but the dictionary definition of a vegan is : a vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet, so i guess you are not fully vegan.
i would say you might be partially vegan, or an over the top vegetarian, but its not crucially important.
