Is fish meat?

[ViperXX]

I had an argument with a coworker today about fish. Is fish meat or is it not meat. He says no and I say it is. Meat is muscle correct? Fish are not propelled around the water by electromagnetism they are propelled by muscle movement.

Muscle is meat. Which means fish is meat.

It's definitely meat.

What did he think it was?

if it's not a meat, what is it?

Uh, fish is meat. Your coworker is an idiot.

If fish isn't meat, then WTF is it?

 

[MattCo]

Fish is meat.

 

[amnesiac]

It's not red meat, and it's not poultry, but it's meat.
What else could it be? Grain? Fruit? Vegetable?

It's definitely meat. Which confuses the hell out of me because I have people telling me left and right that it's not meat.

 

[Maleficus]

[Glitchny]

Beats the crap outta me. He said it was Friday so he doesn't eat meat just fish. I said fish is meat. He said no it's not. I was like ok so is it a vegetable?

Catholics give up Meat for Lent. To them Fish is NOT meat. You had a presupposition that he thought of meat in your terms. It was your own blindness that led to your foolish mistake. That and you probably insulted the hell out of him. Now you are even.

No we discussed cows, chickens, ducks and goats. All are meat, and he agreed on that fact but when I said fish is also a meat he said no it's not.

That doesen't mean it isn't meat.

It is the flesh of an animal, it is meat. It is protein.

Meat can also be the flesh of a nut or fruit.

Tell your co-worker to point out where on the food pyramid fish belongs.... and just to make him look stupid, ask him to first ignore the image of a fish in the meat category.

Now I've got a craving for some Atlantic Salmon yum.
