My friend is convinced that she was a vegetariain?!


Question: She says that she at absolutely no meat for like a year. She ate fish and chicken. She says that fish doesn't count and neither does poultry. I am a vegetarian, no meat, and I really don't understand how fish and chicken aren't animals.

she is wrong and never was a vegetarian

Of course they are animals.
And being a vegetarian shouldn't be regarded as a competition! It is a personal choice, where you are answerable only to yourself.

she wasnt a pure and true vegitarian then...some people say chicken is in a diff. catagory but i agree with you she was NOT a vegitarian

she's a flexitarian, not a vegetarian,

isnt this known as a demi-vegetarian? its like me right now all i eat is tuna and chicken and have stopped eating pork and beef etc

she is not a full vegetarian

i kno some people who still eat fish but ive never heard someone characterize them selves as a vegetarian and still eat chicken so no she was not, and why did she change back? she probably wasnt doing it for the right reasons.

I have a friend like this too. She'll eat things fried in animal fat and fish also, but still says she's a vegetarian, although I disagree. Whatever, though if it makes them happy, it's not really hurting anyone.

She's a freaking idiot, no offense.

Your friend is wrong. Lots of people don't eat beef, but that doesn't make them vegetarians. Fish and poultry are meat. At the supermarket, poultry and fish are located in the MEAT/SEAFOOD dept. Canned chicken, fish and beef are all located on the canned MEAT aisle. If chicken and fish weren't meat, they would be located somewhere else.

She is not a vegetarian. She is an omnivore...

She's ignorant.

If it's not a plant or a mineral, it's an animal.

Fish and chickens are animals.
Vegetarians don't eat animals.
Therefore vegetarians don't eat chickens or fish.
She's not a vegetarian, she's a picky omnivore.

Sounds like semi-vegetarianism.There are many variations of vegetarianism. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Support your friend for her efforts. Every little bit helps. It's not a competition.

If I can put that into a pseudo-biblical context, it's like a man sleeping with his wife's slave and claiming it doesn't count as adultery, because the slave isn't a free woman.

Birds and fish are not plants, nor are they fungi, nor are they algae, nor are they bacteria, nor are they inorganic compounds, so that virtually only leaves animals.

She's about as much vegetarian as George Bush is Chinese.

no she eats meat so no she is not a vegetarian - I asked for a recipe for meatless meat balls the other day and sone one said try chicken - chicken and fish are animals too.

She's full of $h!te. Does she see the root "VEGET" in the word? Eating the muscles off of any animal is eating meat. DUH.

people who think fish and chicken are not animals have some serious issues.

of course they're animals; so if someone eats fish and poultry, they're obviously NOT vegetarian.

She was not. Fish and chicken are meat.

Fish and chicken are most certainly animals, and they certainly "count." If your friend doesn't know this, she needs to take a biology course or three. Vegetarians do not eat the flesh of any animal.

Your friend is not a vegetarian, she is either lying to herself or an idiot.

You're find was never vegetarian. Don't let her tell anyone that she was.

If you tell her the truth but she continues to spread misinformation, she is a liar.

You and I both know she's mistaken. You can either point her here: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/definitions.h... and show her the definition of the word by the people who coined it in the 1800s, or you can drop it. For some reason some people will continue to insist that vegetarians can eat some dead animals and not others...

If she feels comfortable with that title let her have it. It's not up to you or anyone else to label her.
