I was told that if you are a vegetarian, you can still eat Chicken and fish. is this true?!


Question: ABSOLUTELY!!! More vegetarians in the world eat poultry and/or fish/seafood than don't. Especially in those cultures that have been vegetarians for centuries. Even some groups of Buddhist monks eat meat.

You might want to Google "Flexitarian Diets" or "flexitarian" and check out the websites. Old time vegetarians and vegans are growing smaller and smaller in numbers, with flexitarians becoming larger and larger.

No.
Is a chicken a vegetable?
Is a fish a vegetable?
Vegetarians eat VEGETABLES.

no.if u eat meat u r a non-vegetarian.

This is one of those things that makes vegetarians scream.

Question 1: Is a chicken a vegetable?
Question 2: Is a fish a vegetable?

A vegetarian can of course eat chicken and fish, but then he or she isn't really a vegetarian is he/she?

Just like I can say I'm teatotal but I like to have a nip of scotch now and then.

Of course not - vegetarians do not eat flesh of any kind. However you can choose to eat whatever you like. I don't eat meat however I am also a coleliac and have some food sensitivities. In order to be able to eat in a restaurant or go to someone elses house I have elected to eat fish on those occasions. It works for me and it doesn't have to work for anyone else.

No no no!!! Vegetarianism is vegetables only,with dairy and eggs (ovo-lacto-). Vegan is no dairy or eggs. You would be either omnivore or flexetarian if you ate poultry or fish.

No! Would you call a person who eats meat a cannibal? No you wouldn't, unless they ate human flesh. By definition vegetarians don't eat animals. Chicken and fish are animals!

NO god, people just ASSUME that if u only eat 1 or 2 meats ur a vegetarian.

No, the definition of a vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat, fish, poultry nor slaughter by-prroducts.

There are many other curruptions of the word vegetarian. These are a modern creation that is generally fueled by the internet. These "definitions" will nto be in any dictionary and you will not find that the respected vegetarian societies recognise them as being realted to vegetarianism

NO! If you eat meat, your NOT a vegeterian!!

No
though for some reason, many will eat eggs

No it is not true because vegetarian basically means you only eat things from plants not animals and even though chicken and fish are not mammals they are still animals.

NO.

Fish and Chicken are living beings.

Vegeterians don't eat meat and don't believe in eating meat.

You gotta me kidding me. Is this a serious question, or just trolling for a reaction?

No.
And Dave, we don't just eat vegetables either.

No! Vegetarian is eatting nothing they kill animals for. Vegan is eatting no animal byproducts.

nope it is not true, if people are vegetarian they devote themselves 24/7 not eating meat

You can eat what ever you want to, there are no laws against eating meat of any kind. Why do you care what title you can or cannot have.

NO... If you are a TRUE VEGGIE No animal flesh at all.

Sure.


I'm a virgin who has sex sometimes.

Well no you don't eat Chicken but some eat fish because they don't consider fish a meat

Eating chicken for a fact means that you are not a vegetarian
they do not eat any type of flesh including fish

if you eat fish, but not meat its called a pescatarian

I know that vegetarians can't eat chicken. But its weird because my friend was born into a vegetarian family and she does not eat any meat, but she has fish. I would never even have a fish, I think its disgusting. Actually I don't eat any meat. But my mom says that there are different types of vegetarian. But I never saw a one that only eats fish when I looked it up. But I guess you would consider my friend as some type of vegetarian cause she never had any meat besides fish. But I don't consider it as vegetarian.

dirty dave vegetarians eat loads more than just vegetables, not even vegans only eat vegetable.

and no, veggies dont eat any flesh,
flesh = animals,
chicken and fish = animals

well.
typically, vegetarians dont eat anything that has a FACE on it. but, some vegetarians will eat fish, because they need to have SOME protein, or else you will have blackouts and faint.

so i would consider fish to be okay to eat fish, because its not a mammal and it has protein, and you are still considered a vegetarian.

but, eating chicken would make you not a vegetarian.
it has a face, its just like eating a turkey, dove, swan, those kind of things.

but shrimp and fish would be fine to eat as a vegetarian.
my sister eats them and SHE is a vegetarian.

No, that's like saying you aren't racist but you hate black people.

You must have been told that by a meat eater. No, vegetarians don't eat animals. Some people call themselves vegetarian and eat animals, but they aren't really vegetarian and they didn't bother to look it up in the dictionary. "beautiful's" sister, for example.

You don't have to eat animals to get protein or any other nutrient (according to my wife who has a Master's Degree in Nutrition). I haven't eaten meat since 1983 and I have never had a "black out" due to low protein.

You can eat fish(I don't) but u can't eat chicken.

I should know becuz im a veggie-tarian
