Question

can i consider myself a vegetarian if i eat chicken and fish? i don't eat beef, pork, etc, but i do eat chicken and fish fairly often. am i a vegetarian, or just a poseur loser? thanks.

Answer 1

Yeah, because fish don't suffer at all...hook through the mouth, no water so they die slowly. I wasn't gonna say anything but Piscespets made me say, "wtf!?"

Answer 2

First of all, congratulations for only eating fish and chicken. I suppose they are the healthiest meats for you out of all the kinds out there. But I'm sorry, no, you can not consider yourself a vegetarian. A vegetarian eats no meat at all, which includes fish (as well as all other sea food) and chicken.

Becoming a vegetarian is very easy though, just take small steps and cut one thing out of your diet at a time, and it's simple. :)

Answer 3

You wouldn't be considered a vegetarian, or a loser for that matter. A vegetarian is "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"(1).

You are an omnivore that has reduced their meat consumption. While cutting down on meat consumption does not make you a vegetarian, it is still a step in the right direction and a lot healthier.

Answer 4

A poser, sorry.

Answer 5

Sorry, but you're NOT a vegetarian if you eat any form of meat. Chicken and fish are meat just the same as beef or pork.

So you'd only be able to call yourself someone who doesn't eat red meat- not an actual vegetarian

Answer 6

POSERRRR....... Just kidding. Your no more a vegetarian eating chicken/fish than you would be if you ate red meat. The correct label for you is an omnivore. Sorry  :(

Answer 7

If you did, you'd be the worst vegetarian I ever seen.

Answer 8

Vegetarians don't eat meat son. Period.

Answer 9

You don't need a title.  Trust me it can be more than a hassle than a good thing.  I would cut the chicken out and just be a pescatarian though because chickens really suffer a lot.

Makeme, are all fish hooked?  They catch them in nets.  They suffocate.  They are stupid.  They have the memory span of like 3 seconds.

Answer 10

Let's call you....flexitarian (my hubby is one too).

Answer 11

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products[1] [2]. The reasons for choosing vegetarianism may be related to morality, religion, culture, ethics, aesthetics, environment, society, economy, politics, taste, or health.

No you cant consider yourself a vegetarian as they dont eat chicken and fish or any animal.

if you would like to be a vegetarian,look at all the lovely recipes on this website! ; )

Answer 12

You would be an omnivore if you ate chicken AND fish.

And a pescetarian (sp) if you ONLY eat fish.

Vegetarian=No flesh
