	Not everyone defines vegetarianism the same way--my initial point So we can just define words any way we like now? Awesome. I'm going to throw out all my dictionaries because I clearly don't need them anymore. ursaloco has shown me the way. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm going to start calling myself a man now, because my definition of man includes breasts and a vagina. Yay, now I won't get paid less! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sorry but if you eat fish, you are simply not a vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat dead animals, its quite an easy definition. Wait, don't most (some?) (at least France?) European countries classify "vegetarians" as not eating red meat? (Reply to this)(Thread)

Yeah, but if you eat white meat, you're eating meat, which sort of makes you non-veggie in my book. I don't see how you can be considered vegetarian if you eat something that requires the death of an animal.

I like the pescetarian defintion because if it gets widely picked up, hopefully it would help avoid confusion. I'm reminded of the time my school went on a trip to Germany and we were staying in a hostel with meals provided. I was assured there'd be a vegetarian alternative and when we got there, my vegetarian alternative turned out to be a pot of tuna. I was...not pleased.

	Never heard of that, except from stupid friends who are just whiny about what they eat. My school had vegetarian food, and it was all vegetables and, possibly, dairy. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You know, somehow I get the feeling that even should a proper word be coined for every variety of vegetarian from doesn't eat red meat to doesn't even drink milk, there would still be wank over terminology. And why am I trying to figure out if vegans could eat Kopi Luwak coffee? (Reply to this)

	lady7jane 2006-03-31 02:01 am UTC (link)
	MORE word definition wank? Why, people? WHY?! animal rennet is an enzyme secreted by the abomasum (fourth stomach) of ruminants. Yes, yes. That's the easy part. Now tell me what vegetarian means? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	miharu 2006-03-31 06:28 am UTC (link)
	It would be defined somewhere between not eating stuff that was fermented using stomach lining (hooray for cow cheese that 's fermented using calf stomachs) and clubbing baby seals. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yay! Wank that I can relate to. My husband and I have both been veggie for quite a while and have both lived in other countries during that time. It's so fun trying to explain to people in another language that you don't eat meat. No, not chicken either. Same with fish. Black corn fungus? Fermented soybeans... sure. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Oh my god, WORD. I was in China for a month and a half. People were like, "You don't eat meat? WHY??? Are you religious? No? What do you mean, for HEALTH? WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEAT?" The only people who are vegetarian over there are extremely devout Buddhists, who are a lot more rare than Westerners would think. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Ugh, sometimes I hate being a ~~vegetarian~~ OKAY PESCETARIAN YOU CAUGHT ME because people assume that because I don't eat meat that I don't eat anything that could remotely come from an animal besides dairy or eggs. Because, with all due respect, I don't do it for the ethical reasons. I do it because my (hippie) parents decided to raise my brother and I that way. I've just never known any other way to eat.

And FYI, I only say I'm a vegetarian because no one ever knows wtf a pescetarian is. :(

	I love how ursaloco2 goes: BUT IT IS NO MEAT footstamp NO MATTER IF YOU KILL STUFF FOR IT. NO. MEAT. A bit like the ON A STICK comparison. (Popsicle = Jesus). To contribute to the wank: Yes, I eat dead animals. Yes, I keep a cat as pet. Yes, I'm a hypocrite but I enjoy it mmmmmh, steaks (Reply to this)

	When people ask me if we have any dishes suitable for vegetarians, I have made it a habit to always ask, "Well, do you eat fish? Or chicken?" Not because I don't know what a "vegetarian" is supposed to mean, but because you'd be surprised at how many people will answer, "Why yes, of course!" And it drives me nuts. GRRRRR.
