Vegan or not?!


Question: Vegan or not!?
For a year or two I have considered myself to be a vegan!.!.!.
A vegan who likes to snack on a can of tuna or two occasionally!.
So i know this does not make me a proper vegan, but i was wondering if theres a name for individuals such as myself!.
besides 'pussy'!.
thankyou!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Sorry but you are most definitely not vegan!. Vegans don't eat any animal products, even occasionally!. If you eat fish but no other meat than you are a pescatarian!.

Well done for wanting to be vegan but could you please either stop eating tuna or stop calling yourself vegan!.

I'm not trying to be mean/harsh but people who call themselves vegan but are not make life a lot harder for the rest of us!! It means we have to explain/defend ourselves to everyone you have previously met!. The constant,
"my vegan friend eats fish so why can't you/!?!?"
can get really annoying after a while!.

If you truely do want to be vegan!.!.!. go for it!! ditch the fish :)

Trust me!.!.!. living an ethically consistent life feels so much better than constantly explaining away your lapses!!

Best of luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think you are consider a vegan!. If you ate the tuna by mistake and didn't know it until after you ate it, I guess you could still consider yourself a vegan because it was an accident, but this wasn't the case for you!. You would be considered a Pescitarian, a person who eats no meat and animal flesh except fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As others have said, the term is pescetarian!.

I just want to say, good for you! Reducing animal suffering isn't an all-or-nothing proposition!. You're making a huge impact by refraining from eating eggs, dairy, birds, and mammals!.

I personally think eating eggs is worse than eating tuna, because of the way chickens are so intensively confined in battery cages!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are not vegan if you eat tuna!.!.!.just like you are not a virgin if you enjoy sex once in a while:) I love that comparison!

You are a pescetarian!. They eat only fish and no other type of meat!. They are not vegetarians though!. Vegetarians and vegans never eat animals!.!.!.and fish are animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You're not a vegetarian, and not even close to vegan!.

By thinking that vegans eat fish, it makes others think the *real* vegans eat fish!. Gives out the wrong idea!.

You sound like a pescatarian, because vegetarians and vegans do not eat fish or any animal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

as others have said, the term is pescetarian because you eat fish but no other kinds of meat!.
you're still doing a great thing by cutting back on your meat intake!.!.!.good for you! maybe you could take the last little step and cut out the tuna!? you'll be glad you did =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think you can call yourself vegan if you still eat meat, even occasionally!. maybe pescatarian who doesn't eat dairy or eggs!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could call yourself vegetarian because there are types of vegewtarians who eat fish, but you are not vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

sorry but that's not even vegetarian!. Pescetarian yes, fish are animals not plants so clearly not vegetarian or vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope, you're not a vegan, sorry!. Pescetarian at best!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

dude if you eat tuna that not even vegetarian let alone vegan even your still a meat eater even occasionallyWww@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry, no animal products whatsoeverWww@FoodAQ@Com

You're a pescetarian!. Vegans and vegetarians simply do NOT eat animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
