Posts: 132 | May 30th, 2010 at 04:58pm I tend to eat meat with every meal except Pasta or noodles, or things that you wouldn't necessarily have meat with. If I ask my mum what's for tea and she just tells me like a salad, I'd be like ' What's the meat? ' |

It does get annoying when I buy one and everyone is immediately like; "omg are you vegetarian?!" Like non-vegetarians have to eat meat with every single meal.
I'm totally with this. I tend to go for the veggie option most of the time anyway, without anything to do with vegetarianism. I just like my vegetables!
I got a veggie paella the other day and my Mum's boyfriend's sister was really rude - "You're not one of those vegetarians, are you?" |

And I love dairy products.
But I have seen videos on how these animals are killed and the pure conditions some live in, and I don't mind them at all. Either I'm really cold hearted (I am, pretty much  ) Or more likely I couldn't care less.

Also, the only reason I had a fox as my avatar is because I still love kiddie movies..  |

If you don't eat meat, but you eat fish then you're technically a pescetarian.

 | June 3rd, 2010 at 09:06am I don't understand this "vegetarian except for fish" business. Why would fish be excluded? I'm not a vegetarian, but it seems to me that you would not want to eat anything THAT WAS ONCE ALIVE? Kind of contradictory to say "oh but fish are OK" |

If you still eat fish then you are a fake vegetarian Pescetarian.
But I haven't heard of a vegetable called 'fish', have you??  .

vegetarians eat stuff that used to be alive all the time. plants are still living organisms, there's just no ethical issue over harvesting and then eating them. it's a misconception that vegetarians don't eat anything that has ever been alive. unless people don't believe plants were ever alive. which seems strange to me. then again, personal opinion - i believe plants are living organisms.
i think the only people who really fit that bill are strict fruitarians (who only eat that which can be harvested without killing the plant it came from - so fallen fruits, nuts and seeds). but then again, i still think of it as living.
this isn't me having a go at everyone who eats vegetables, btw. obviously i think vegetables are great and there's no issue in eating them. i just think they were/are alive because they are/were living organisms and so saying 'vegetarians never eat anything that's been alive' is not strictly accurate. |

Getting back to being serious. (Sorry Sherlock )
This is actually a really interesting point that I hadn't considered before. |

Biologically that's 100% true, I do consider plants as living, I guess I just didn't think of that in the same context.
I'll rephrase as living to... thinking? I mean I know fish don't think all that much but they have a brain xD
I've actually never heard of a "fruitarian" before, I hadn't considered that either. |

Posts: 10375 | June 4th, 2010 at 10:50am Is it weird that I don't think about being a vegetarian now, it's strange, I just think it's the norm, I just assume most people know this. I went out for a Chinese (worst meal ever, no veggie options), and a few of my friends didn't even realise that I didn't eat meat.
My Mum also doesn't cook for me like fullstop any more, I normally did it myself anyway but she said that I'm so picky that she 'can't be fucked' any more. She still cooks for my 21 year old Brother though  |

Posts: 7651 | June 16th, 2010 at 06:43pm This sounds more or less ignorant but I don't understand the thinking behind "If I eat this, I'll be harming animals". You didn't harm the animal; you didn't kill it and no one can hold you responsible for the death of it, you know?
