Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Why do some people claim to be 'Vegetarians' when they eat fish?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Why do some people claim to be 'Vegetarians' when they eat fish?),it will help you,my kids.
I am not a vegetarian but i've come accross this occurance quite a lot recently, and it is quite annoying.
A fish is NOT a fruit, seed, pulse or vegetable. It IS a living animal.
If you eat fish you are NOT a vegetarian.
(I'm not saying its right or wrong to eat fish by the way , just that it is not something a 'vegetarian' would do)
Do you agree?
Answer:
YES! As a strict vegetarian myself, this>grains,vegetables,fruit,nuts,a... seeds. There are Lactovegetarians who consume dairy products,and Ovolactovegetarians who consume eggs as well. But a true vegetarian called a vegan(vee'gun) excludes all animal products. So yes I agree with you, eating fish is not a vegetarian thing to do.
Well first of all a vegetarian who eats fish, but no other meat, is called a pesco vegetarian or a pescarian. Many vegetarians first try this form of vegetarianism because it is easier and cheeper than traditional vegetarianism. It is a recognized form of vegetarianism, and there are many different form of vegetarianism. There are fruitarians who only eat fruit, nuts, and seeds, and veggies that are classified as fruit, such as avacados and tomatoes. Thee are also vegans who eat no animal products. Therefore they dont eat things like honey or gelitin.
Personally I feel that I am vegetarian, but I do eat fish on the rare occasion. I only do so because when going out there arent many veg options in the area where I live. If at all possible I eat purley veg, but when necessary I do eat fish.
Then they are stupid f*ucks, because they cannot eat fish...
some vegetarians choose not to eat all meats, whereas others just give up red meat.
I totally agree with you (and even had the same type of question). It annoys me to no end. Maybe they're saying that so people will think they're cool or something, which is totally the wrong reason to be a vegetarian.
Because no one gives a **** if a fish feels pain.
Just to throw my two cents into the mix...I am a "vegetarian" who avoids chicken meat, beef meat and pork meat. I drink milk and eat eggs. They are a little hard to avoid in cake! I eat seafood and fish. Why? Because this is what I choose to do and saying I am a vegetarian lets other people understand that I have different dietary restrictions than most people. Am I a vegetarian? Depends on who you ask. I make my choices based on what types of food that I like to eat and don't really care too much about labels.
I agree completely. Anyone who's seen my posts through 2006 will know this really winds me up.
There is no logic to it, they just seem to be wannabees who can't be bothered to use the correct definitions.
The 2 largest and most authoritive organisation ( Veggie Soc and IVU ) both define veggie as EXCLUDING fish.
vegetarian society:
A vegetarian is someone living on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits with or without the use of dairy products and eggs (preferably free-range).
A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal fats.
International Vegetarian union:
vegetarianism includes veganism and is defined as the practice of not eating meat, poultry or fish or their by-products, with or without the use of dairy products or eggs
So why some meat-eaters choose to call themselves veggie beat me.
I know we're great, but to live your life as a lie just to be called one of us...thats going a bit far....
answers like the one directly above me really piss me off. Who do you think you are, eh ? Have you any clue have stupid it sounds and the damage you are doing to the vegetarian community ?
No, didn't think so. I wonder if the problem is the fish-eaters post such nonsense and never come back here to read the other answers and realise how wrong they are. "15 YEAR meateating deluded wannabee" is the source comment you were actually looking for
Would it make any sense if i said Jesus was the son of god and i'm a muslim whos just had my barmitzvah and will be off to Tibet for my budist sabatical soon ? No, of course not, thats why we have defintions and beliefs so people UNDERSTAND what we believe in.
Also, there is no such thing as semi, demi, part, nearly....they are all just wanabee statements from people who can't be bothered to use the english language correctly.
Amy_22 has the right answer. I also do not understand why veggies wear leather. Although its not in the definition, wearing leather contributes to the cost model of keeping the cow/pig. If we didn't wear dead cows then the cost of meat would make most meat eaters turn veggie. Therefore, in my opinion, if you wear leather you might as well eat the stuff.
and there is no such thing as a "pesco vegetarian". There is a pescotarian, but why corrupt the word vegetarian ? and stuff like "Personally I feel that I am vegetarian, but I do eat fish on the rare occasion"...what nonsense.......
