So why don't people consider fish "meat"?

because of such people when you tell them to bring food without meat, they get food which has veggies and fish :disgust:
 
I always considered the following

Animals = Food
Plants = Animal Feed


That being said, Fish and such are Animals, so they are in the food category.


 
Vegetarians that eat fish aren't vegetarian. They're in denial and call themselves 'Vegetarians' to make themselves feel better. If they can argue that meat has to be red in order for it to be classified as "meat", then that means these 'Vegetarians' can eat chicken and get away with it.

Bingo. They aren't cuddly and they don't stare at you when you drive by farms.

Anyone that thinks cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys and other bred-for-food animals are cuddly has either never seen one or has a distorted idea of what is cuddly.

When did I say they were? You fail reading comprehension. I was going through the unwritten PETA checklist to determine if they care about that animal. If they're: A) Cuddly, or B) You see them almost every day. You don't see fish every day, because they're in the water, and they certainly aren't cuddly, what with the spiked fins and slimy texture. This is why faux-vegetarians don't consider fish to be "meat", when in fact they have very high consumable meat to entire body ratio.

I've met several people who claim to be vegetarians, but still gorge on fish, claiming that it "doesn't count" or "isn't meat".

Those are what you called fricking posers. I hate those guys. If it's alive and moves, it's meat.
 
If your a vegetarian but still eat eggs, thats BS on so many levels.......

whoever said good, let the morons die and more food for us then cheers and beers to you

They won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

That's level 5.

So they eat nothing? That's fine, less morons to deal with and more food for the people that need it.

Stop, you dont watch enough simpsons. And last I checked Roots dont cast a shadow. You can clip the plant off and attach it to another, thus eating the root and not killing the plant!
 
Wait, so how many lvls of vegan are there? Can one vegan eat another vegan, since they only eat veggie so they're technically meat free?

Is that like when Goku becomes SS lvl 2? So a lvl2 Vegan probably screams just as loud when dropping a stool compared to Goku becoming SS lvl2 :Q

Strictly speaking, vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry or fish. They are not vegetarians 🙂 Vegans do not eat fish either. Tell them to call themselves fruititarians if it pleases them :Q

Ahaha fruitarians... crazy people... but I'd honestly rather eat only fruit than only vegetables (yes I know vegans eat more than just brocolli). Do a google search on "Breatharians" or something like that... some funny sh1t out there.
