I don't eat pork, beef, or chicken- but I DO eat fish. Would I classify as vegetarian?!
Answers: If not, how would you classify it without having to list everything?
YES. some vegetarians eat fish. Some even drink milk or eat eggs and cheese. (Lacto/ ovo etc). Vegans are the ones that don't eat any animal product of any kind.
I'm vegetarian. I don't eat any meat or fish, of any kind; or eggs; and try not to eat things made with gelatin, or chicken and beef stock. But i do eat cheese! (and yogurt!) And sometimes i drink regular milk! (skim or 1%) but i love soy milk.
?
you are what i s called a pescatarian, it means u only eat fish.
Last I knew fish are animals. Meat !!!!!
your answer is NO you are not "A" vegetarian.
Geez... I feel like Cartman here...GD hippies! :)
Sorry
Yeah u aren't a vegetarian.............as for milk and reamining stuff its not classified as veg or non-veg..............but overall u aren't a vegetarian
no .even though that might sound cool. you of course can say i am and always give your exceptions, which will almost always get a debate started.
vegetarians eat NO MEAT. fish is meat. you are a MEAT EATER. people eating meat are not vegetarians. this is not a hard thing to understand, unless you ask on yahoo answers
A vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat anything with a face or a mother.
A pescetarian (or piscetarian or pescevegetarian) is someone who is vegetarian with the exception of eating fish.
No. I don't know why some people equate fish-eating with vegetarianism. You are a person who dosen't east most types of meat but you are not a vegetarian - at least not while you are eating a fish. Someone should coin a word for people who eat fish and are otherwise vegetarian - "fishetarian?"
No. There are people who say they are vegetarian who eat only fish or chicken, but fish and chicken are animals. Vegetarian means eating only plant based foods. Some people eat dairy, but no meat and consider themselves vegetarian. A true vegetarian (vegan), however does not eat foods that are made from another species' mammary glands. Cows milk is meant to feed baby cows - (calfs).
I started out just like you, but slowly cutting out animals from my diet and now I am very happily vegan. I sleep so much better at night, knowing I don't have to kill animals in order to eat.
Sorry darl, fish is meat.
Vegetarians dont eat meat.
i wouldnt call yourself a vegetarian, as many vegetarians can get quite upset about it and you may find yourself in trouble : )
I dont see any need for the term pescatarian either. we already have the word omnivore, there is no need to digress any further, meat is meat.
No, vegetarian guidelines now added that fish is not considered a food group for vegetarians. Vegetarians also quit fish now because of knowledge of high mercury content in the foods.
Remember, poultry and fish IS a type of meat-if it was alive it is not for vegetarians to eat..As the other poster stated, vegetarians can get pretty annoyed at ppl caling themselves something they are not-only b.c they work extremely hard to eat what they are supposed to, and ppl who eat meat and lable themselves the same name takes away from the point...if you get what i mean.
Like someone who studie dto be a doctor vs someone who is watching doctor movies- both calling themselves doctors-one will be pretty peed...
so rid of th efish, and u have yourself a lable.
Not another one of these questions again. Sorry....okay...
Congrats on not eating anything but fish...but fish is meat...and you are not a vegetarian. Just say the only meat you eat is fish.. No one would know what you are talking about anyway if you say pescitarain..(I don't use that word so I don't know how to spell it..I think it's made up to be honest)...so you'd have to explain it either way it goes. Either give up fish too or tell them you don't eat any kind of meat except fish. That's not hard to say.
No, you are a person that does not eat red meat or poultry.
Fish are getting over fished anyways so that's the only reason I would tell a person to stop eating them besides the face that it was a living animal.
No, you are NOT a vegetarian. Classification? You are an omnivore. Not a "pescatarian" not "pesco-vegetarian"...none of that, it's all b.s.
Those stupid titles do nothing but cause trouble for legitimate vegetarians and further the dumb idea that a fish is somehow a vegetable?
You are not a vegetarian. Please have some respect for real vegetarians and don't call yourself one. Thanks.
The guy who says the majority of Hindu vegetarians eat fish is incorrect. My wife is Hindu, I personally know hundreds of Hindu vegetarians, none of them eat fish, and fish and eggs are always classified as "non-veg" in Indian restaurants. The thing about fish being a vegetarian food was invented by people from the West.
No, you are not a vegetarian.
You are a person of normal diet who restricts thier meat intact to fish
You could use the term pecsitarian if you really feel the need for a label but its not a real dictionary defined word so don't be suprised if you cause confusion or have to explain it to almost everyone you meet.
I'm not sure where "purnimacresent" gets the idea that fish not being suitable for vegetarians is new or a recent change.
Its been that way since the word vegetarian was first defined in 1847:

Pescotarian
no u r not,
a real vegetarian is someone who doesnt eat anything that has eyes..
ur a pescetarian.
your not a vegetarian.
No. Fish is meat, any way you put it. Vegetarians don't eat meat!
You would probably be a pescatarian.
No you're not a vegetarian. A lot of people don't think that fish are as 'cute' as other animals but they live and feel pain just like the rest of us do. A vegetarian doesn't eat the flesh or parts of any animal so you are not therefore a vegetarian.
No. Vegetarians do not eat any animal flesh. You are a Pescatarian (someone who only consumes flesh from fish, but not other animals).
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does this question get asked like everyday?
FISH=ANIMAL
NO

type in vegetarian
No, you are not a vegetarian. How you explain it is up to you, but please don't confuse the issue by calling yourself something that you're not. "Pescetarian" and "piscivore" are words used for people who eat fish only; some people criticize their use because they are "made up" words, but ALL words start out that way ("vegetarian" itself is a fairly new word, having been coined in 1842 and adopted by the vegetarian society in 1847.) I'm OK with their use, but not with the use of "pesco-vegetarian" or any other configuration that includes the term "vegetarian."
no you are a hybrid.
You would be classified as a "semi-vegetarian". Vegetarians are pretty much people that don't eat any meat. Chicken, Pork, Beef, Lamb, Fish, Etc..
Vegans are the ones that don't eat animal products of any kind.
I'm vegetarian but i drink soy milk, eat vegetarian cheese, and don't eat eggs.
Try not to worry about being put into categories - just eat whatever floats your boat, man =)
Take care
You are a pesco-vegitarian: will not eat the flesh of any animals other than types of seafood.
There is a group of vegetarians that can eat fish, another that can eat chicken. However, meat is meat. If one eats milk, eggs or milk products that is not meat, in my opinion, and it's ok.
The majority of the world's self-declared vegetarians (i.e., the Hindus in India) do eat fish. Pescaterian is a more exact term, but vegetarian is fine as well. There is no committee that sets the definition of vegetarian.
