Answers:
Your friend says sausage smells good and chicken looks nice, but does she eat those foods!? If she doesn't eat meat then she is vegetarian!. It's about what you do, not what you say!.

People have many different reasons for becoming vegetarian!. Some don't like meat!. Some don't like the way animals are treated!. Some do it for health reasons (lowers the risk of diabetes, heart disease, etc) Some do it for the environment!.

Anyone who eats fish is not a vegetarian, no matter what they say!. A vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat animal flesh or slaughter biproducts (gelatin, rennet, lard, etc)

Personally I don't eat meat for a combination of reasons, mostly ethical and health related!. I also don't wear leather, burn tallow candles, and only buy cage free eggs!. I still crave shrimp upon occasion but I don't eat it!. After 6 years of no beef the smell makes me queezty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't eat meat because I think that no being should have to die because I want to eat it!. It's both really - the cruelty is the part that makes me sick, plus, meat in packaging looks disgusting to me!.

As long as your friend isn't eating the nice-smelling sausages,or the nice-looking chicken, she's a veggie!. 99% of the time, I'm disgusted by all meat, but sometimes, sure, I'll think something smells nice!.

Vegetarians don't eat fish!. Pescetarians eat fish, but they often call themselves vegetarians, either due to ignorance, or to make themselves look better, I suppose!.

Vegetarians do NOT eat fish!. Those who claim to be veggies but eat seafood aren't veggies!.
The vast majority of veggies don't eat meat or fish because they can't bear animals suffering and dying!.
Other just don't like the taste of meat or seafood and some may be allergic to those things but that's rare!.
Your friend is a veggie as long as she doesn't eat the meat she thinks smells nice!.
Have a look a the Vegetarians Society's website for more info and the definition of a vegetarian!. It's www!.vegsoc!.org

I don't eat meat -mainly for environmental reasons!.

A person can think sausage smells good and still be a vegetarian!. For years after going vegetarian the smell of bacon frying just KILLED me- but for me, to eat it would be supporting an industry which I find morally reprehensible, with regards to people, the planet and the animals!.

Vegetarians do not eat fish- but one cannot help but argue that consumption of fish is not as cruel as that of cows, pigs and chickens!. Fish are killed, but prior to that they are not tortured like the inhabitants of factory farms!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since I was a little girl I just didn't like the taste of meat!. I just thought it was gross, my mother would make a pot roast or baked chicken and I would get sick just smelling it!. I also think it is unnecessary to kill animals for human consumption when there are so many other ways to get iron and protein in such foods as eggs, cheese, beans, nuts, milk etc!. And there are different kinds of vegans too!. Some eat fish and others consume milk and eggs and some eat no animal products at all!. There are names for all of the different kinds of vegans but the only one I know is Lacto-Ovo which is what I am since I eat milk and egg products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I'm a Vegetarian, and I do not eat fish!.!.!. but two of my veggie friends do!.!.!. it's called 'Piscitarianism'!.

I'm a Vegetarian of two years now, and I still miss meat, and love the smell of it!. I'm a Vegetarian on moral grounds, though, believing that it's cruel to kill animals!.!.!. so the morality outweighs the taste!. It's not a case of whether I 'like' meat or not, I just think it's wrong!. Whether I would enjoy the taste or not isn't really the matter at hand!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Alright well first off vegetarians do NOT eat fish!. Anyone who eats fish and calls thyself a vegetarian is ignorant to the actual definition of a vegetarian!. also I am a veg@n for many reasons but just because I am a veg@n doesn't mean I don't enjoy the smells of some of my old favorite foods!. I still enjoy the smells of some (not very few) my old favorite foods like fried chicken, domino's pizza, and burgers!. But that means nothing, I am a strong veg@n and I would never eat any kind of meat, even if my senses find them appealing!. A lot of us do feel somewhat like this because it is what we were accustom to before we were vegetarians!. Our senses don't just get over stuff over night!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

not all vegetarians are the same, many do it for different reasons and some make exceptions such as eating fish!. i personally think that if someone eats fish they cannot really consider themselves vegetarian but that's just me!. i do not eat meat because i do not like it, it is healthier to not eat meat, and for animal rights reasons as well!. if your friend has just become vegetarian she may just be missing the taste of meat for now, but it will probably go away as she gets used to not eating it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

most vegetarians do not eat fish!. i don't know who came up with the idea that fish were vegetarian friendly, because they are not!. they are harvested in a similar, cruel fashion that farm animals are!.

it's more than just the cruelty issue to vegetarians, and vegans!. eating animal products hurts your body and hurts the environment!. of course, the ethics is the main part of it because the meat and dairy industries are truly disgusting!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't eat meat for ethical, health, and religious (atheist) reasons!. if i ate meat today, i would most likely be sick, yes!. i didn't quit eating it because i got sick, though!.
you can be a vegetarian and think that meat smells and looks good!. i am not against being around meat, either!. i eat dinner with my family, and i eat at restaurants!. i don't complain about how the meat smells!.
i don't eat meat because i believe that it is cruel!. i don't eat fish either!. some people eat only fish, but those people are called pescetarians!. they are not technically called vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my experience and research there are many reasons people throughout history have maintained vegetarian or vegan diets!. Religion, ethics, animal cruelty, environmental concerns, health!.

Many veg*ns find eating meat repulsive because of "where it comes from" and knowing what it takes for it to get to the plate!. also many people feel that eating meat is unnecessary when there are other healthy options!.

But I have found that people almost never give up eating meat because they don't like the taste or smell of it!. I think a lot of them grew up eating meat!. That's why it may still look or smell good to some one who won't eat meat for, say, compassion for animals!.

Personally, the smell of meat cooking sometimes smells good to me (though I would not eat it) the same as the smell of a veggie meal cooking would!. But my daughter, who has been a vegetarian her whole life is very turned off by the smell of meat cooking!. So everyone is different!.

On another note; some veg*ns enjoy eating mock meats and others don't like to eat anything that resembles meat at all!. I am the first type, I don't eat meat because of personal beliefs not because I didn't like the taste/texture of it!. And knowing that I'm eating something that didn't have to be cruelly raised and slaughtered makes me feel better!.

But that's just my opinion!. Many people disagree and many people feel the same!.

As for the fish, question, I totally agree that fish are animals and, therefore, some one who eats fish is not a vegetarian!. Nor is somebody who eats meat "occasionally"!. The same goes for some one who eats dairy or eggs and says they are a vegan!.

okay to start off with vegetarians DONT eat fish!.

i dont eat meat not because i dont like the flavor but becuase i know its wrong, at first when i would smell steak or meat it was appetizing and i'd have to fight to resist but now its not even a fight, i find it revolting the more i find out about the injustices involved with meat!.
Www@FoodAQ@Com

I choose not to eat ANY animals because it is cruel and unnecessary!.

Some vegs still like the flavor of meat but choose not to eat it because of the suffering!.

A pescatarian still eats fish, they are not a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dont eat meat because i think it is cruel the way animals live their lifes the very cruel how they are slaughtered!. I do sometimes think that it smells nice but after it think about it It is so horribleWww@FoodAQ@Com
