If u are a vegetarian, like myself, are u allowed to eat fish???!
Answers: please answer!!!
Of course, a strict vegetarian diet will include no fish. If you are adopting vegetarianism because of a moral stance, then the thought of eating flesh would be abhorrent to you. However, if you were a vegetarian because you wished to eat a nutrient-dense, low fat diet, then you would be more likely to eat fish because doing so would be consistent with your aims in adopting the diet in the first place. Quite honestly, I think that a healthy diet can include small amounts of lean meat, poultry, or fish, but they should be of secondary importance and should displace fruits, veggies, and whole grains only when they provide necessary complete proteins and nutrients important for optimum health. Moderation in all things is still the ideal in so many things, and food is no exception.
no
my sister is a vegetarian and she always says "i never eat anything with a face"
fish have faces
Vegans eat no animal products
Lacto ovo vegetarians eat milk and eggs but no meat
Pescetarians eat fish but not meat
It depends on what kind of vegetarian you are or what to be.
you dont have to follow guidelines to being a vegetarian.
it depends on how strict you are with yourself and your reaons for being vegetation. some people say nothing with a face(scallops-yes salmon-no) some say nothing but veggies and dairy. then there are the hardcore vegans (my cousins one, but she cheats a lot) and then if you really like meat you can go the route of one of my friend who is a flexatarion, meaning she only eats certian meats. whatever you choose.
You can eat whatever you want to but animal flesh isn't vegetarian.

A vegetarian who eats fish is not a vegetarian. It's just a person who doesn't own a dictionary.
You're allowed to eat anything you want. Vegetarians CHOOSE not to eat animals. Fish are animals. Vegetarians CHOOSE not to eat them.
Regarding the oh-so common "I don't eat anything with a face", vegetarians also don't eat clams, oysters...
Also, "pescetarians" are omnivores, not vegetarians.
If you look within the dictionary - you will find that eating fish is not within the def. of being a vegetarian.
If you declare yourself a vegetarian, it is YOU who has made the rules.... YOU decide if fish is OK. I suppose under the strictest definition, fish would be off limits, but again, YOU make your own rules.
vegetarian means from vegetable sources.The last time I checked,fish wasn't a vegetable.You might be considered a flexitarian,meaning you want to be a vegetarian,but you cant seem to give up the fish or chicken
you're allowed to eat whatever you want. you'd be considered a "pescatarian". in my book, pescatarians or even pollotarians aren't real vegetarians. they simply want the title. so if you eat fish, no you cannot be a vegetarian.
you cannot eat fish
as a vegetarian, you have four options. you can be a ovo-lacto vegetarian (you only avoid all meat, but still eat animal products). a lacto vegetarian (avoid all meat and eggs). ovo vegetarian (aviod all meat and dairy products, but you can eat eggs) or finally be a vegan (avoid all meat and animal products).
You are "allowed" to eat anything you wish-the veggie police will not turn up on your doorstep, I promise! However, if you eat fish, you would be a pescatarian, and not a vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat animal flesh, seafood, or anything that was once a living creature. Don't try too hard to fit into a label. Eating is a personal choice.
You can eat fish if you want, but then you won't be a vegetarian.
Folks who call themselves vegetarians but eat fish probably don't know the definition of "vegetarian." They probably think it means "people who don't eat meat" and then they get confused about the definition of meat (fish: is it meat or not?)
No. Vegetarians do not eat meat. Fish is a meat. Fish are living creatures. They have central nervous systems and feel pain just as other animals do. Please do not call yourself a vegetarian if you eat fish. Not only is it incorrect, but it's also kind of tacky.
No unless you are on your way to becoming a vegetarian and aren't one fully yet, but you would be considered pescetarian if you did because basically vegetarians only eat vegetation and a few other things depending on the person.
If you eat fish you are not a vegetarian. You would be someone who just eats seafood and no other meat. Just like someone who doesn't eat beef is someone who doesn't eat red meat.
nope. Fish is a body that moves-Vegetarians do not eat an animals body. Chicken and fish are animals classified under different categorie tho.
but no...they don't and those that do-well, we really can't stop ppl from labeling themselves wrong.
NO.
Eat what eva you want, but dont calll youyself vegetarian when you eat fish.
Fish is Meat TOOO=]
You can eat anything you want, but if you eat an animal, ANY animal, you are not a vegetarian.
I'm amazed at how often this question gets asked. Why is it so hard to understand?
then you are not vegetarian how can any vegetarian think of that to harm any living animals even you cant eat eggs
i don't know how you're a vegetarian, but i don't eat fish.
You can eat whatever you want.
But most vegetarians wouldn't consider you to be vegetarian if you eat fish. You can call yourself semi-vegetarian.
No - only vegetarian.
i am not a vegetarian.
You can eat fish but you won't be a vegetarian anymore, you'd be a "Pescatarian"- thats a person who eats fish/chicken but otherwise follows a vegetarian diet.
yeahhh. my fam. friends are & they eat all kinds of fish. especially sushi
the rules for being a vegetarian are wavy. if you want to eat fish, eat fish. my sister is a vegetarian, and every once in a while she'll have chicken, or eggs.
