Fish is protein, but not traditionally considered meat.

On of the origins of the practise came from the fact that the fishing ships would come into town from the sea on Fridays - thus the fish was freshest (safest) on Fridays.

OK I see why they practice eating fish, but not other meats - though I'm still confused as to how fish is not considered meat.

Chicken has protein too in it. How is a fishes substance not meat while a cows or a chickens substance is meat?

Is it just for ease of dialogue that ppl say don't eat me (and just assume that one understands that it refers all meat save for fish?)

When they say "meat" they main raised/grown livestock.

In those days, meat was a luxury food. You either had to buy it in a market or you had to own enough land to keep cattle. On the other hand, anyone could grow vegetables or forage for them, and anyone could catch a fish in a lake or a stream. You could buy better fish and vegetables, but the point is that you could eat without money if you were poor. So meat was rich people's food and fish was poor people's food. That is why the most common form of fasting was to omit meat and eat fish.

How can you admire people who nail themselves to a cross?

As an ex-catholic, I make it a point to eat excessive amounts of meat on days like today.

lol, eww. Chicken strips.

ps. this may be appalling to many but the only thing I actually like at MacDonald's is the filet of fish. You either absolutely love that little perfectly shaped platic bun or are extremely grossed out by the mere thought of it.

If you're an ex-catholic, I'd be wasting my time trying to talk to you about the faith.

Have a good day.

I just cant see how something like faith can be rated by others by actions of self mutilation/destruction. I'd say there are other things one can do to acquire great admiration, and nailing yourself to a cross is not one of them.
