Am I a vegetarian?!


Question:

Am I a vegetarian?

Hi there!
I don't eat meat for more than 10 years, but do eat milk & dairy products + fish. Am I a vegetarian or ..?
Thanx!


Answers:
some people would say yes, but the technical term is pescetarian. The common misconception i see above me,according to the actual term is that a vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat, including fish/seafood. A vegan will not eat meat, including fish/seafood, and will also not use animal products, such as milk, eggs, or natural gelatin, or wear animal products, such as leather or suede.

Nope. Fish are animals! Milk and dairy are ok for vegetarians, but not for vegans.

yes you are, but if you eat chickrn then you are not

yes. not a vegan, though.

since fish is the flesh of an animal then you aren't

You are a vegetarian who is lacto/ovo tolerant.
Vegans eat nothing from the animals.
Its OK to eat fish cuz the don't have any feelings.

No you just don't eat "red meet"

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooo...

This is what you are: Pesco-vegetarians

You are more like half vegitarian and half not. You don't like meat, but you do like fish and other dairy products. Maybe you are slowly turning into a whole time vegitarian
!

yes

No, you're not a vegetarian. Fish are animals. You are, however, what people call a pescatarian. The only animal you eat is fish. If you dropped the fish, you would be a lacto-ovo vegetarian. If you dropped the eggs and dairy you would be a complete vegetarian and if you dropped the leather shoes, belts, bags, etc. you'd be a vegan. I call myself a vegan eventhough I am only half way to getting rid of my leather stuff, but people understand that better than total vegetarian

You are not a vegetarian.....your body is a graveyard for decaying fish flesh, even the though of you declaring yourself a vegetarian makes me sick to my stomach.

Why does it matter?

A Vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat any meat at all, but does eat dairy products. If you still eat fish then you are a Pescatarian.

i consider that vegetarian. im 12 years old and 3 years ago i decided to become vegetarian and i could on 1 condition: that i ate fish. i still consider myself a vegetarian and hardly ever eat the fish either. so im my opinion yes you are!

No, you're not a vegetarian. You eat dead animals so you defy the definition. I'm not saying you're *wrong* to eat fish, just that you're not a vegetarian.
