Fish IS NOT meat?
fish is not meat i am a vegetarian and i have to eat fish for protein if you think fish is NOT meat SPEAK UP
Answers: Fish is fish, not meat or fowl. Vegetarians can eat fish, unless you are vegan. There is a difference between fish, fowl, and meat. Meat comes from mammals, beef, pork, lamb, etc. Of course it is meat! Okay... can you please tell me what FISH is then???? Please enlighten me...
Okay, for all of you being so "technical" let's get something straight. If you don't want to call fish "meat" then fine, don't call it that, but you have to admit that a fish is an animal, correct?? Ok, now on to the next lesson... here is the definition of vegetarianism...
Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products.
Therefore our conclusion is quite simple, if you eat FISH, YOU are not a vegetarian.
Do as you want but don't come here and argue that you can be a vegetarian AND eat fish because it isn't "meat". I personally believe that meat is anything that lives and breaths , and so therefore I believe fish is actually meat. Of course fish is meat... you can decide to eat it if you want to, but it's still meat and nothing will change that. catholics can eat fish on friday so i guess its not No, fish is not meat and is not an animal.
Fowl is not meat and is not an animal.
Beef is meat.
Deer is meat.
Moose is meat.
Goat is meat.
Lamb is veal, but could come under the heading of meat I guess. Hmm...looks like someone is in denial.
I love a bit of meaty fish!!! Oh, so you think fish is a plant? You're dumb. Oh, and why the fvck do you have to eat an animal for protein? All plants have protein. Vegetarians do not eat animals.
Fish are animals.
You are not vegetarian. Why does "Joanne A. W" say that a fish is not an animal? What is it then, a fungus?
====edit===
Vegetarians eat only plants; hence the name.
Fish are animals, not plants. It depends on how you look at meat. Some people say it's meat. I say it's not meat because it isn't bloody. But it could be meat because of the part of fish people eat. its not meat.
and either is chicken, or turkey.
meat is defined as
"The edible flesh of animals, that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry." I have never understood why fish has its own category. By eating fish, you are eating flesh. How is that not meat? It is! "No, fish is not meat and is not an animal.
Fowl is not meat and is not an animal.
Beef is meat.
Deer is meat.
Moose is meat.
Goat is meat.
Lamb is veal, but could come under the heading of meat I guess."
First of all... Lamb is lamb, not veal. Veal is baby cow.
Secondly... Fish and chickens aren't animals? What are they, prey tell? Flowers? Of course fish and chickens are animals and what comes off of them for us to eat is meat. oh so you are saying that a fish doesn't move and bleed, i consider it meat and don't eat it. I eat tofu for my protein so let me say FISH IS AN ANIMAL !!!!!! and vegetarians don't eat meat OR ANIMALS. I am quiet.....
but you can do any thing you wish ...
THIS is America..!
YOU account to your conscious not mine
Fish is Jesus' favorite dish BY the BOOK.
call it dog food if you wish....
silly V&V..
stress more..!!!! The Definition of vegetarianism is defined as the practice of not eating meat, poultry or fish or their by-products, with or without the use of dairy products or eggs.
Call fish what you want, but if you eat it, you are not a vegetarian. I believe that everything living is either a plant or animal.
You have to decide which category fish falls under and live by your own rules. It really shouldn't matter to you what others believe to be true. Catholics make up their own meat rules so why can a vegetarian. Fish is considered meat. I eat fish but I don't claim to be a vegetarian. However, there are a lot of peole who simply try to eat healthier by eliminating red meat out of their diets and they conside themselves vegetarians. That does not fit the defination. However, if you did not go vegetarian for ethical reasons then there is no reason why you should not eat fish if you want to. i dont think its meat but it kind of tastes like it . maybe because it was alive and moving around and stuff Fish are animals---to eat the animal you have to kill it. How is that vegetarian? I thought us vegetarians did not want to have to kill something to eat it...isn't that what's it's all about? Whether the flesh of fish is "meat" or not, it IS and animal. Fish is meat. But you don't have to eat fish in order to get protein. I've been vegan and an athlete for 12 years and never had a problem with protein.
Aside from soy products you can get plenty of protein in your diet via nuts or beans. there are plenty of sources of protein that are not from animals. i think that it is sad that you want people to agree with you so you don't feel guilty while you are eating fish (ANIMALS). Fish is meat.
I don't eat it.
Or any kind of living thing that breathes.
If you were a real vegetarian,You probably would not eat it.
We live in a new frikin century,We dont need to eat animals to survive. it was once living and breathing and everything and then it was killed and served to humans. vegetarians don't eat any types of once-living animals. plus, who was the person that said fish isn't bloody. of course it has blood, what kind of statement is that? Fish IS meat. You are not a vegetarian if you eat fish. A fish had a life and you ended it. It felt pain as it suffocated on top of a ship or was boiled alive. It is an animal, it's flesh is meat. There are NO government regulations conrtolling the treatment of fish and almost 50 die swimming in their own feces before they are slaughtered. They die more slow tortous deaths than other livestock, they are frozen, have their gils slit, suffocated or even BEATEN to death. If Tyson, say, killed their chicken in this matter they'd be shut down. If your eating meat you're eating dead, tortured flesh. This applies to fish too. It depends on how you define "meat." Meat could mean flesh of any animal, or it could mean just flesh of a land dwelling animal.
No offense, but eating just fruits and veggies is impractical and even stupid. But i'm totally for the reduction or elimination of the consumption of meat from land dwelling creatures (cows, pigs, birds) simply because of environmental issues. But you've got to understand that animal protein is a necessity. That's why you'll always crave for animal flesh. Your body wants it, longs for it, needs it.
Solution: Eat fish. Go look into being a pescatarian.
PETA people always have excuses to go against eating ANY kind of animal. You say pescatarian and they'll say fish are killed inhumanely. Look, not all people torture their fish, ok? Get real. Um... then what IS fish? It's still dead animal, no matter what way you look at it! ok, the defonition of meat is the flesh of an animal that has been killed to eat, corect me if im wrong but fish are a type of animal and you need to kill them to eat them, so yeah fish is meat, and if you eat fish you are a pescotarian, not a vegetarian!
