Can vegetarians eat clams?!


Question:

Can vegetarians eat clams?

Just wondering.


Answers:
you can eat anything you please. dont let a fear of violating a "food rule" hold you back. if you like clams, eat clams!

It's an animal, so no....

Vegetarians can eat whatever they want, but since clams are a mollusk, they would not be part of a normal vegetarian or vegan diet.

They can, if they want to, but they will not be vegetarians anymore. Clams are considered animals, so vegetarians do not eat them.

no

If a given food is pure protein, then vegetarians don't eat it.

Vegetarians love to dick around with balancing how many grams of protein in this food, and how much vitamin A in that one...they love lists, and keeping score.

If they ate meat, it would take all the paperwork out of dinnertime!

There are 3 terms that go along with vegetarions, pesco, ovo and lacto (seafood, eggs, dairy). So if you eat clams, you would be a pesco vegetarian, no big deal!

You bet you can, and scallops and prawns too!

Go for it!

no cause it's a type of meat

If somebody is a pesco-vegetarian - then yes they can.

Yes, don't be a full vegetarian. Eat anything you want once in a while. Vegetarians die early.

No

Can they? Unless they have a shellfish allergy yes they can.
Do they? No.

no

no

Anyone can eat anything they want. But you would not be a true vegetarian if you went around eating clams.

Nope.Its living,and breathing, so no.

Clams are living animals. Vegetarians don't eat animals.

The ONLY seafood acceptable to vegetarianism is seaweed.

well, um, that's an intresting question. it really is.

i would say no. i say that because technacley it's not under the catagory of "herbavorism" (if that's even a word? lol)
vegetarians are herbavors so they eat only plants (plus soy, tofu, etc)

sea creatures are animals too. usually vegetarians dont eat anything living or anything that ever had a family. I dont eat seafood. and im a vegetarian.

Yesofcourse, they can if they so wish.

They would have to stop calling themselves vegetarians after that.
