Why do so many people think that vegetarians can eat fish?!
Then people try and feed me fish because they have been told that vegetarians eat fish!
A lady at a cafe told me something was vegetarian the other day as it only had fish sauce in it - of course I informed her that vegetarians don't eat fish. She got very confused as she had been told that we do eat fish.
They also sometimes think we eat chicken (horror of horrors)!
Answers: Because people that are pescotarian tell others that they are vegetarian.

Never heard that, but I know there are a lot of stupid people in the world.
I have been told that fish is not considered a meat; its hard for me to understand; because I have always considered fish a meat. I am confused on this note to.
Probably cause there are different types of vegetarians. Some vegetarians eat eggs and some eat bacon, I have never heard of one eating seafood but I'm sure there is, people are always trying to bend the rules, LOL.
Perhaps because the Catholic Church does not classify fish as meat (you know, you can eat it during Lent, etc), and so now it's just an old custom to consider fish to be 'not meat'.
there are lots of types of vegetarians. Many will or will not eat certain things.
Pescatarian: Will eat fish
Flexitarian: The new term for wanna be's, will sometimes eat meat.
Lacto Ovo Vegetarian: Will eat dairy (Lacto) and eggs (Ovo)
Vegan: No animal products at all.
Raw Vegan: No animal Products or anything heated above 115 degrees.
Macrobiotics: Only unprocessed vegan foods and Asian vegetables.
These are just to name a few to give you an idea about the concept of how different people accept different levels of vegetarian diets.
Cause fish got no feelings. Ever heard cold as a fish?
Obviously people identify more with mammals than they do other groups such as fish and birds. This is the same logic that allows people to eat chicken or turkey and proclaim themselves vegetarian.
Lots of rationalization going on out there.
Thankfully there is a community of vegetarians and vegans willing to correct such prejudices, rationalizations, and sometimes just plane old ignorance.
because they want to, why is it such a big deal
i was a pescotarian and now im a raw vegan.
Because so many people want the "cool" label of being a vegetarian, but they don't want to give up their favorite foods like fish, poultry and shellfish. In turn, the "vegetarians" eat the fish and chicken, and other people all of a sudden think it's ok for vegetarians to eat fish and chicken.
When I went to Pizza Hut the other day, I told this grunt that worked there off when he nearly put anchovies in my vegetarian pizza because he thought anchovies were vegetarian. Needless to say, I didn't buy his pizza and I ended up buying a margherita pizza somewhere else.
If you eat chicken and fish, please do not call yourself a "vegetarian" because it makes life harder on the rest of us when we want an *ACTUAL* vegetarian choice at a restaurant.
Think about it this way, all you semis. What if somebody thought semi-vegetarians could eat pork and you found a huge chunk of pork in your food? You'd freak. That's how we feel.
well thats because fish is not classified as a meat which i still don't understand, cause it rots inside of you too just like those classified meats. and it bad for you too but vegetarians eat soy, garlic and many other things that are worst than fish so hey what can i say.
Yes, vegetarians can eat fish, but they need my approval first, and they need to eat lots of wholesome carrots.
vegetarians eat NO MEAT.. when people eat fish for there only meat that is called a Pescatarian
Because they are misinformed? I didn't know that some people think vegetarians can eat fish.
idk?
Because some vegetarians do eat fish...actually a lot do. It's the more strict vegans that really limit what they eat in their diet. My sister is a vegetarian the only meat she will eat is seafood..won't touch anything else though
because lots of vegetarians do eat fish?
there are different "levels" of vegetarianism, some eat fish, some include dairy and eggs...
Because vegetarians can eat fish and don't need your permission or approval.
