I guess you can include this with "the vegetarians eating fish" thing. Do people not realize the true vegetarians don't eat dead animals, period? Fish and chicken are both animals, when they're killed, they're both dead animals. They don't differ from cows, pigs, lamb, dogs, cats, elephants, lion, etc. They're still animals, therefore, if a "vegetarian" eats them, then they aren't really vegetarians.
Cmon this is pretty unnecessary a question, obviously its ignorance on the other persons part. If you care so much explain to them that vegetarians don't consume living sentient beings (include that word sentient).
Obviously somebody who doesn't care for the vegetarian diet will not know fully its ''laws''
vegetarian
This is left over from the 60s and 70s when many people gave up eating red meat but continued eating white meat (chicken, fish), and called themselves vegetarians. I tell myself that there are facets of life of which I am ignorant, so I accept that others may be ignorant of this. Don't let it worry you - contact me and I'll give you a list of more important things to stress about (^_^).
It does not get on my nerves, because all I have to do when someone asks that is say, "No."
I can only think of a couple people who have ever asked that anyway.
It isn't different, but you can thank people who call themselves "vegetarians" while still eating chicken (or fish).
That's where they get the idea, by meeting "vegetarians" who eat chicken.
They are simply misinformed.
You shouldn't let it get on your nerves; contrary to popular notion, being a vegetarian does not require that you have contempt for all non-vegetarians.
Because there are morons in the world who go around calling themselves "vegetarians" while eating chicken and/or fish and therefore make other people think that is what vegetarians do.
I think you explain why you don't eat meat they won't bring up the chicken.
Keep it simple, and tell them "chicken are not vegetables"
Its not different. Those people don't know what their talkin about.
