Can someone explain to me why fish is not a meat?!
Although they have a term for it now "pescatarian" I still hear some people who refer to themselves as vegetarians but eat fish!. Why is fish not a meat, I have asked this question (online and in real life) and no one can give me a good answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
In the most scientific, technical sense, meat is actually muscle tissue!. So in that sense, fish that is served is the fish's muscle!. Fish, however are in an entirely different phyla to warm-blooded mammals (such as cow meat) (although both are in the kingdom, animalia)!. So there is some taxonomic differences!. However, on a practical level, I suspect, it is a personal choice how some vegans define their practices (and fish are just not as cute & cuddly as mammals)!. Personally, in my opinion, its their choice & their perogative, so I don't argue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Apperently fish don't have feelings and are just some automata that do not suffer!.!.!.
But fish are animals like any other, and deserve the same Rights to life, liberty and freedom from suffering!.
One pescetarian I know calls herself a vegetarian for the title, and says that she eats fish because she's killed some herself and knows she could do it, so doesn't mind paying others to do it!.
I didn't think fast enough to ask her if she'd be able to shoot a calf in the head or send it to be raised as veal because she drinks milk, or if she was able to chuck day old male chicks into industrial grade blenders because they're not needed by the egg industry!.!.!. Maybe next time!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fish is a meat!. I know a lot of people who have a chiefly vegetarian diet yet every now and then include fish into the mix!. The reason for this (from what I see) is it is not important for them to be hard-core veggies!. They don't use vegetarianism as a badge of honour or a political flag, but rather, they prefer the benefits of a primarily vegetarian diet with supplemental fish oils!. It's a diet choice!.

Of course a fish is meat!. I never understood that argument, from the time I was a first grader in Catholic school!. Why can I kill a fish and eat that on a Friday but not a hamburger!? I think arguments are based in religion and in misguided attempts among people who think that being vegetarian is cool but don't really understand the concept!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes fish, chicken, shrimp, lobster, crayfish, clams etc!.is the same thing as eating meat!. You still have to kill it (most people do) to eat it!. If a vegetarian says I'm a vegetarian but I eat chicken and fish, they are deluding themselves!. I always laughed at Catholics that couldn't eat meat on Friday but they ate fish!. Lent is the same way!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Meat general comes from mammals that walk the earth!.
Chicken is poultry, not meat!.
Fish are cold blooded!.
The muscle in mammals is much different than the muscle of a fish!.
