Does a vegetarian still eat fish?!
Does a vegetarian still eat fish?
Answers:
It amazes me how many people are clueless on this. It is not totally their fault because there is a lot of bunk information, but it is still terribly annoying none the less.
Sorry, but vegetarians do not eat the fishes because vegetarians do not eat animals. No such thing as an animal-eating vegetarian because each negates the other.
No vegetarian organization or society, since vegetarianism began has EVER accepted the idea of a animal-eating vegetarian. NO *pesca,* no *semi*, no *flexi.* You either eat animals or you don't.

It is fine to eat fish, but please do not refer to yourself as a vegetarian because you would be doing a great disservice to a group of people who believe in their lifestyle.
Of course, you could call yourself "Princess-Queen of the Pandas" and no one could stop you... we just don't like misinformation.

No, no nononononono NO
Kay, sorry
But that is classified as a Pesco Vegitarian, AKA, not a vegitarian
Vegitarians eat NO FLSH
Kay, sorry if that sounded rude, it wasn't supposed to
Sometimes. It depends on the decisions made by that person. I know some folks who don't eat any animal products but they are "vegans".
Depends what you define as a vegetarian. Many vegetarians actually do not like meat and so view fish as an alternative.
No. A fish is a living thing. If you eat the meat of a living thing you are not a vegetarian. A lot of them do not know this.
no, fish are animals too. Veggies dont eat animals or living creatures of which a fish is.
any w=veggie who tries to tell you otherwise is a liar!
I asked a similar question a few weeks ago ... I got LOTS of answers some long! Please have a look, there was a lot of debate on it!!
fish flesh is called meat , so vegetarians don't eat meat !!!Are there still vegetarians about ? that's for my next question
Yes, veg people get all the meat they can from fish. Similarly, eat beef. Cows eat grass, so beef is just a more efficient, concentrated way of taking on board the goodness you would get from grass if you ate it.
Only if she's a lesbian!!
NO vegetarians dont eat things that were living y is everyone so un clear on that...
i eat meat and i still no.. there has been a million questions posted about this today!
NO. ur not supposed 2 eat animals
yes unless your vegan
To me a vegetarian doesnt eat fish but some vegetarians do eat fish just like the roman catholics eat fish on fridays because you can't have meat on fridays.
Ask yourself this, is a fish a vegetable or is it some kind of fishy meat?
some vegetarian eat white meat...wich is egg and fish....
vegetarian term is different for different ppl....i believe being vegetarian is not eating egg or fish...some ppl in some parts of the world call themselves vegetarian when they eat white meat.
Vegans are those who do not even have dairy products coz tht comes from animal.
By definition, vegetarians should not eat fish, as it is a living animal. However, in practice, large numbers of people do eat fish and still claim to be vegetarian.
Halle? doesn't even know if that is her name and FLSH isn't on my diet.......but I do my own veg thing and I eat fish. Do what you want, be your own person. Have fun and be healthy!
A vegetarian eats no fish but vegetables and that's it unless they want you to believe they are vegetarians. Vegetables are plants like: squash, beans, tomatoes, corn, green leafy plants like collards, turnips, spinach and the like.
no.
a fish is an animal & i don't eat animals.
No dummy they don't eat anything that has had or haves life goooooshhhhhhhhh! people these days you know i think with every generation people get dumber with the exception of me of course lol just kidding or am i?
It's not that vegetarians don't eat anything living (plants are alive). It's that vegetarians don't eat animals (sentient beings). Fish are animals.
Dictionary.com defines vegetarians as those who do not eat meat, fish or fowl.
The food industry may often define seafood and meat seperate, but the actual definition of "meat" is the flesh of an animal (although the terms "meat" and "flesh" are used for other foods too, like nuts and fruit, so "animal" is a more accurate term)
Anyways, fish ARE animals, and vegetarians do not eat animals.
yes i do...
i'm not sure,
my friend is a veghead
and she still eats fish...
sorry if i offended anyone
<3
I am sorry but who the hell gets of telling other people what they can and cannot eat. I could sit and eat bacon and burgers all day and still call myself a vegetarian and I don't really care if someone else didn't like it. Those whom call themselves vegetarians because they don't eat living things is bull, if you really never ate living things you would never eat fruit or vegetables, they were living once too! I currently am a vegetarian who does not eat fish, but say tomorrow I decided to have some nice fried mullet, guess what i would still call myself a vegetarian because i am allowed to, and that's o.k.
A true vegetarian doesn't cause other living creatures to be killed and this includes fish.( Sorry Kikidee but you are mistaken.) Vegans (and I was one long ago prior to becoming a chef) follow a more extreme form of vegetarianism and also refuse to tolerate in their lives any product which caused the exploitation, death or suffering of any living creature. Examples of these are dairy products and honey as well as animal-tested cosmetics. I have noticed that in recent years, supermarkets etc are eager to oblige vegans
in a way that they never used to be. My own view is that by becoming a Vegan, I distanced myself still further from the majority of the human race. You must take into account when setting yourself apart from others that many will not take kindly to having their lifestyles branded ethically unsound - including my parents. In short you must avoid at all cost the emotional barrage of propoganda for the numerous causes and ideals that are out there and decide for yourself what is important. It is good to want to live your life peacefully and without adversely affecting other lives, but as you get older you realise that you must impact on the lives of others if you are to live at all. For a long while I was also a technophobe,opposed to materialism.However, this does not reflect the world in which I find myself and sometimes it is more important to be a part of the human race than to be the most perfect person that ever there was.
NO
Fish are animals,therefore vegetarians don't eat them.
Pescatarians do and often call themselves vegetarian but they aren't.They are just more selective omnivores.
yes, vegetarians still eat fish. Do not believe anything these vegan extremist try and tell you. I have a dictionary in front of me right now and it clearly say vegetarians eat fish.
Any idiot that eats dead animals whether from land or sea; yet insists on calling themselves some form of -arian is a LIAR!!
