For vegetarians: why do you call yourself vegatarians and then you think its okay to eat chicken or fish???!
Answers: SO many people say "oh yeah i wanna save the poor animals" and then they think its okay to go and eat fish and chicken because they think that fish is not cute and chickens are stupid. why do you do that?
LOL I agree...they think theyre vegetarians but theyre NOT!
A real vegetarian doesn't eat meat. For some, this doesn't include fish, one of the reasons for that can be that most fish have had a free life. Anyway, it's different for everybody. But the word 'vegetarian' implies that you don't eat any kind of meat.
You can discuss the definition of the word 'vegetarian' of course, if you want to.
Personally I call people who eat chicken but no other meat vague-tarians. ;-)
i think people are stupid that do this
Well....they're not really vegetarians, then :)
Those who only eat fish are pescetarians.
Those who only eat fish and poultry are pollopescetarians, etc.
At that point, the "I want to save animals" spiel doesn't really work. hehe.
I know someone who says they are vegetarian except that they eat bacon!!! Also I know a guy who is a vegetarian ? but never eats veggies, just rubbish like cakes and sweets and crisps. Not good.
They are the stupid. The chicken, the fish and the rabbit are all white soft easy digested animal meat. People who behave like that are not vegetarians. True vegetarians hate the smell of any meat and it will turn their stomach.
Andie -- I am yet to meet vegetarians of tis kind !!!
dr are many 'born' vegetarians, who have gone on to relish beef and pork .. but then de aren't vegetarians, nor are ppl who eat chicken and fish vegetarians(in the strictest sense).
Its not abt which animal looks cute and which doesnt!!!! its abt having respect to a lyf other dan ur own. Just think of it this way, 'why exactly did cannibalism stop??'
Am sure u aren't a veggie, taz y u seem to have such doubts.. :)
anyways, dr are a million other imp issues which u shud be pondering over, rather dan trying to figure out why certain veggie's eat chicken and y some dont !!!!
finally Its all abt choice - neither religion nor parental pressue wud keep a person 4m eating whateva he\she likes !!'
theyre not vegetarians then are they! stupid people.
probably because they because veggies to start off with because they didn t enjoy red meat then realised that they missed chicken so went back to eating chicken but carried on calling themselves veggies because they found that it gets peoples attention.in other words attention seekers.
Most just want a label and are desperate to find something that will make them different.
However, in the case of fish, they might just be Catholic, as the church states that fish is not meat. I can't argue with that reasoning, as that's a religious belief, not just vegetarianism.
I didn't become a vegetarian to prove anything to anyone.
I really don't ever discuss it. It just gradually happened that I began to prefer the way I felt physically, eating less and less meat and animal products in general. I take a multi vitamin
and liquid minerals since they're missing from all the foods we eat in the USA. Also I've seen how chickens are housed, as well as dairy cows, and worked in fresh fish processing,
so I have alot of memories that are repulsive in that regard.
Still, I ocasionally eat seafood , chicken, eggs, cheese and beef because they taste good and I'm hungry.
I don't think it's hypocritical to cut down . I lean toward vegetarianism now as a personal preferance.
They are just dumb people!
People who do that aren't vegetarians, but they might say they are. Real vegetarians don't like it, but there's really not much they can do if some people insist on using the word incorrectly.
If the Catholic Church says "fish isn't meat" that doesn't really have anything to do with the vegetarian philsosophy.
