Real vegetarians only!?!
I am trying really hard to be a vegetarian for the past 2 months!. But I can't seem to give up seafood!. Is this okay for vegetarians!? Will I still be considered a vegetarian if I don't give up fish and other seafood!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I completely understand!. Seafood was the only thing I had trouble giving up!. Take a little time still eating seafood!. You will be called a pescetarian, which is not a vegetarian but close to it!.
It was hard for me to understand that eating fish is also not good for you, the fish, or the environment!. Overfishing is hearting delicate ocean environments!. Fish do feel pain!.!.!.and when you eat fish you are consuming all of the pollution that our oceans are plagued with today!.
Factory fish farms are even worse!. Over half the fish die from improper living conditions!. The farmers count that as just another cost!. It's really greedy!. also the fish carry diseases!.
If you are still going to eat fish there are certain precautions that I would recommend you follow!. Don't eat fish from China!. It's really dangerous and disgusting!. You can read up on it if you want!. also don't eat fish high in mercury very often!. If you eat tuna I would suggest regular tuna instead of albacore!. Albacore just has way too much mercury!.
I wish you luck in your path to vegetarianism!.
I kicked the fish habit and I don't miss it!. There are so many wonderful vegetarian foods out there just waiting for you to discover them!.

People still do not understand this!.
Fish is a meat, it is a living thing!. When you are a Vegetarian you do not consume any meat at all!. Just because seafood lives in the ocean doesn't mean it is any different from eating any land animal!. If you don't want to give up seafood you can be a pescatarian!. The only meat pescatarians eat is seafood!. But you will not be considered a vegetarian!. If you didn't give up seafood for those 2 months, you were never considered a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pescetarian
That's what a person is who eats fish and seafood still!.
As PETA Says:
====
If you still eat fish or other sea animals, you’re not a vegetarian!. They’re not swimming vegetables, you know! Just because they’re not as cute and cuddly as dogs and cats, doesn’t mean that they don’t suffer!.
====
There are fish and seafood analogues (mimics) just as a soy burger and I've heard they are very good!. Here is one example:

And here are recipes for making your own scallops, fish, clams, and shrimp from Seitan:

Oh, my gosh! Where do all of these people who eat fish get the idea that they're vegetarians!? I know that it sounds cooler to be a vegetarian than a pescatarian, but if you eat fish, then you are a pescatarian!.
There's nothing wrong with being a pescatarian if that's your choice, but you have to realize how much harder it is for us vegetarians to get served something that doesn't have fish in it!. You are perpetuating misinformation!. also, if you don't understand what a vegetarian is, how can you understand enough about the lifestyle to follow a vegetarian diet properly!? Maybe that's why everyone is so worried about a vegetarian diet being innately protein-deficient!.
So, no, seafood is not OK for vegetarians, but it's fine for pescatarians!. Just please use the accurate term to describe yourself until you can give up seafood and become a true vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

First of all!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I love the Twilight Series ; )
Second of all you can eat whatever you want!. There is no vegetarian police out there!. However you will not be considered a vegetarian if you still consume seafood!. What you eat is your choice, and you don't need to categorize yourself into a specific group!. If you need some extra time to transition into fully becoming a vegetarian then take that time!. The most important thing is to stay healthy!.
Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

What you eat is your choice!.
Just because you don't eat animals with four legs, that doesn't make you a vegetarian!.
Being a pesco-vegetarian does not sound difficult at all, it actually sounds incredibly easy!. I'm pretty sure that most restaurants have a dish with fish in it instead of a bird or a mammal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals!. Period!.
If you want to continue to eat seafood, please don't call yourself a vegetarian!. The word for your diet is pescetarian, which is a type of omnivore who excludes most meat, but will still eat fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Go to a grocery and look in the frozen food area for the soy meatless stuff (things like Morning Starr "Better n Burgers", Chick patties", fish sticks too)!. You may have to go to more than one store because not every frozen food manager even knows veggies exist!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Terminologically maybe not!.!. but vegetarianism is very broad, and there are some really bizarre levels to it!.!.
Some will eat a certain red meat--Yea I thought that was odd
Others eat fish
Others eat eggs and milk
Some eliminate those and stick with fruits, veggies, and grains!.!.
Others will eat only vegetables or fruits -fruititarians!.!.
Some go so far as to have not much beyond water and juices!.!.!.
It gets really trippy but general society recognizes that there is a sect of vegetarians that eat sea food :]
And they're still considered vegetarian!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know lots of vegetarians who eat seafood!.!.!. take Victoria Beckham for a start!.
If you think being vegetarian is hard, try being a vegan!. My friends a vegan!.
She can't have eggs, milk, honey, etc!.
She can't wear leather or animal tested beauty products!. She can't have a lot E numbers in food!.
But she find being a vegan easy because she eats foreign food so her options are more wider!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because you crave what your body needs!. This is why horses don't like meat and dogs don't eat grass!. It's not what they were meant to eat!. They weren't meant to!. People usually crave foods when their body needs something!. So either eat seafood or take supplements!. I tried going veggie years ago and discovered it wasn't for me!. I was less healthy and looked worse and ended up with some more serious health issues later!. Now I still enjoy veggie and vegan food but I just eat meat!. I'm much healthier now! I respect the reasons why people go veggie, there are just some people who don't do well that way and I am one of them!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Is your nutrition less important than what you call yourself or how others view your "eating profile!?"
Why is being a vegetarian like a religion!?
Just make changes in your diet that make sense to you---and don't try to give your choice a title!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
