This annoys me.

Suddenly, fish aren't meat.

And fish aren't animals either.

I don't say I'm a vegetarian anymore because of that. I say I "don't eat animals." That's pretty simple.

Discuss.

I think theres a special name for a person who only eats fish and not other animals... (Like me) But I don't know... I think it might start with a 'Pes' at the beginning of the word...

I would really like to know why people don't consider fish a meat also... Maybe because theres so many of them?

Well, to be honest fish are different than most other animals, because they live in the water and seafood has been eaten in cultures where meat wasn't.

The technical term is pesco-vegetarianism, but people that eat fish but no other meat are called a pescetarian (despite common English pronunciation rules, the "c" in this word is pronounced as a "k" and not an "s") or (less commonly) a semi-vegetarian.

It's the same way with chicken, but I find that people ask about fish a lot more often.

I know more than one people have had experiences with this. Please share, all!

fish is not a vegetable. end of story.
neither is chicken, so don't even ask that.

you can eat them and be a semi-vegetarian, but not vegetarian. I have very strong beliefs as far as that goes.

Its called being a pescatarian.
I'm a pescatarian,
and I feel terrible about it.
But I live in a meat-lovers family
and I'm 15,
so I get no say in what is bought
and if I don't eat fish,
Basically, I die.
The day I move out, is the day I stop eating fish.
(Or get a job and buy my own damned food!)

Eating fish and/or chicken and claiming to be a vegetarian annoys me... A lot. Fish and chicken are meat in my opinion and it really bothers me when people claim to be vegetarian, yet eat one or both.
