no meat. it's all horrible shit.
vegetables - mushrooms, onions and peppers in garlic and chilli. this is true whether it's on a pizza, with pasta, with salmon and rice, with courgettes and tomatoes as a side dish...

no. the finest record ever made is undoubtedly "eternal flame". by the bangles. not the subsequent cover by fake tanned scousers "nuclear pussy".

I still don't see how you can claim to be vegetarian but eat fish.
At the very least you are pescatarian.

Anyone who says they're vegetarian, but eat fish, is too lazy to explain what pescetarian means at best and a complete fucking idiot at worst. There's a word specifically developed for their choice of diet for gods sake, use it.

and also "I mostly eat just vegetables, but sometimes fish, except I dislike most seafood and it certain special circumstances am OK with meat, but I still wouldn't choose it" is a fucking mouthful.

I always overreact to this particular subject
Mainly because of a running argument with a girl I used to know on the UEA Ballroom team, who seemed to think that being vegetarian made her better than anyone else and even upbraided me for daring to not rescind my carnivore status despite rarely eating meat. Then it turned out that she ate fish, but still considered herself a morally superior veggie. Grr.

Well, there is an arguement that fish is generally non-farmed and thus moraly better
This is my view, the death of animals bother's me very little but the mistreatment does somewhat. No excuse to be cuntish about it though. it's also that we live in a fairly binary world, so it's easier to have the Vegetarian label even when (as in my case) you eat fish and very occasionally meat. although it's a plus that pescatarian is gaining recognition, but leaves me explaining that I just do not like most seafood, unless it's cooked by Gonz, or in breadcrumbs.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 16 Aug 2011, 11:37, Reply)

Non-farmed fishing is sweeping the oceans clean and making several species slide dangerously close to extinction.
If anything, farming is the more sustainable choice.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 16 Aug 2011, 11:42, Reply)

Fishing to extinction could be argued to be "mistreatment".

( Kroney, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 11:45, Reply)

Yes dear.
To clarify: I do not give a flying fuck about animals dying (even to the extent that they become extinct) But I do not wish them to suffer needless pain/discomfort during their lifetimes. In line with this, I generally eat vegetables, sometimes fish, and very, very occasionally (so far once every 2.5 years) ethically sourced meat.

If you are bothered by over fishing I suggest you stop eating fish.

My eating habits are in line with my beliefs, and I have no more interest in pushing them on others than I have in others pushing theirs on me.

I appreciate there are levels of dedication; Ms Foxtrot won't wear or buy leather, for example, which some vegetarians don't concern themselves with. But to say you're a vegetarian who eats fish is just fibbing. The word is pescetarian.
