Answers:
I fully agree with your sentiments!. I have always said if its got a face a true vegetarian doesn't eat!. it !. I always get treated like I some sort of tree hugging hippy that eats nothing but fruit and nut cutlets!. LOLWww@FoodAQ@Com
Only a few do, and often its people who are not vegetarian that state this!. If you really feel the need, politely correct them,
Having boiling blood is not good for your health!.
Vegetarianism is not ALWAYS a life choice to not eat dead animals, - there are plenty of veggies for environmental, health, religious or availability reasons!. Chances are, someone blood is boiling now because of your assumption there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Those who eat fish are NOT vegetarian!.
They are meat eaters!. Look at what the Vegetarian Society says about this topic!.

Vegetarians don’t eat fish and they never have!. Many things have changed since The Vegetarian Society was founded in 1847 but two important definitions haven’t:
“ VEGETARIAN” – someone who doesn’t eat animals
“ FISH” – cold-blooded, water-dwelling animal
If somebody eats fish and calls themselves vegetarian, they are misinformed and probably just seeking attention!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hear, hear! I'm a chef and I have the same problem, can't stand those idiots!.
I think we should come up for a special name for those, something on the line of: "non-red meat eaters" or "fish and chicken only eaters"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are different levels of vegetarianism, and people who are on the one you're describing don't eat RED MEAT for health reasons, most likely!. Fish and white meat are far healthier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They want to make a stand, they like the attention of being called a vegetarian!.!.!. but really!.!.!. they are nothing but posers!. Go the real vegetarians and vegans! You rock!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's hypocritical I think!.Same can be said of vegetarians who eat eggs for example!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
For them, not eating "red meat" is vegetarian!. Usually they do that just for health reasonWww@FoodAQ@Com
I think they do it, because they choose it not as a life style for not eating animals but as a diet or something!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
cos there are alot of pretentious people out there, who just think they are really fashionable and can change the rules to suit themselves!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is probably because there are generally two types of people who call themselves vegetarian:
1) those who do so for ethical, moral, environmental, social, political reasons; and
2) those who do it more just for health reasons and/or personal food preference!.
Those in category 1 are often more widely read on the subject
in relation to the worldly reasons for why one might stop eating meat, and as such view their change as not just as beneficial to themselves, but to the wider good!.
Those in category 2 are often more concerned with the health reasons for not eating meat, and take it on more for the sake of improving their own diet, as opposed to feeling some kind of inner obligation to do so!.
There are of course exceptions to this rule, with some people being mostly #2 but a bit of #1 also, and vice versa!.
This means that, if you are vegetarian and you meet other vegetarians, you will often find that there are differences in the level of passion, commitment and belief they have in being vegetarian, because base reasons people have for becoming vegetarian often differ!.
People also often view meats like chicken and fish as "lesser" meats, because they place less importance on smaller animals than larger ones like cows, sheep and pigs!. This probably arises from a perception that "red" meats are somehow more "masculine" than "white" meats, and as such are stronger; better; healthier; as they come from bigger, more robust animals!.
It probably also stems from the common discussion that vegetarians have with meat-eaters about how comfortable or uncomfortable we would be killing the animal we are eating!. For instance, some people would go down that line of reasoning and consider that they would probably be able to kill a chicken or a fish with few problems, morally, and as such consider it them Ok to eat!. They might however have more reservations about their ability to personally kill a cow, sheep or pig for food, and so ommit those meats from their diet!.
Similarly, they might consider that as chickens and fish are smaller than other animals bred for meat, that they wage a smaller environmental toll!.
Overall, vegetarianism - like most ideas, philosophies and movements - exists on a continuum!. There are adherents who are very very strict with what they will or will not eat, to the point of getting very emotional about it, while there are some who are concerned enough to change their diet, but don't get as distressed about the ethics of meat-eating and view it more as a matter of improving their health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
