veg·e·tar·i·an [vej-i-tair-ee-uhn]
– noun
1. a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.
Sorry, you've been downgraded to picky eater. You're not the first person claiming to be vegetarian and still eat the flesh of an animal. I don't get why. Is it cooler to say I'm a vegetarian or something?
P.S. This isn't a dig at anyone, I'm just curious. |

From the Wiki article on Pescovegetarianism (and the exact reason I dont eat meat):
| quote: | Another ethical consideration of many pescetarians has to do with the inefficiency of red meat as a food source. Most cattle, pork and chickens [11] that supply the United States meat market are not free range. Instead, they are fed grains that are grown for the sole purpose of animal feed. The amount of calories in the grain needed to feed a cow, pig, or chicken (to a lesser extent) greatly exceeds the nutritional value of the meat these animals provide. Were this grain to be used for human consumption instead, far more food could be provided. Considerations of overpopulation and the restricted amount of arable land usually play a role in this pescetarian rationale. This view is complicated by the fact that farming carnivorous fish species requires large inputs of wild fish for feed.
A 2006 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that livestock are responsible for roughly 18 percent of the global warming effect[12], outstripping even the contribution of transportation. The main greenhouse gases produced by livestock are methane — the natural result of bovine digestion — and the nitrogen emitted by manure. Furthermore, the deforestation needed for grazing lands also contributes to global warming, by eliminating the CO2 sinks that forests provide. Thus some pescetarians choose their diet in an attempt to reduce "livestock's long shadow." |
Try not to attack a lifestyle if you dont know why the person is living it. |

No one is attacking you but understand it's confusing to people to say you're a vegatarian but still eat fish.
Thanks for the good read on pescetarianism. Can't keep up with neologisms these days. Personally, my favorite food type is shellfish. More specifically abalone, clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, crabs and lobster. Clams are great because it's a sustainable food source that also acts as an ocean filter. And I can eat my weight in them. :happy2: |

Its hard to go to a restaurant and ask for such-and-such but without the meat. They immediately ask you if youre a vegetarian and it turns out to be a lot easier to just say "yes" than to say "well actually, I think raising cattle is destroying our environment..." And crab legs are my favorite food. Does anyone know a good seafood place where I can get some all you can eat? |

There is an all you can eat snow crab place in Loganville.. I think I put the rest of them in the area out of business. I buy 10lbs of snow crab for about $40 at the store, get home, cook it up and see if I can eat it all in one sitting...
The distruction of the environment is why I only eat Kobe beef... :) |

At your age, you figured that just with the odds alone, that gesture would have worked for you by now.... |
