Question about being a vegetarian

Question

is chicken, turkey, and fish considered meat?

Answer 1

1. If you are vegan, Chicken Turkey and Fish are all considered meats

2. If you are a vegetarian, all the items are considered as meat. On some coastal regions in India, Fish is not considered as meat. Fish is referred to as water squash

Answer 2

I think it's hypocritical for a vegetarian (if they are doing it for moral reasons) to eat any of those things, including fish.  It's still an animal!

Answer 3

Any animal that has been killed for consumption is meat.  My general rule is if it had a face, don't eat it.

Answer 4

they are all animals so they are all meat

Answer 5

They're all meat because they all came from animals.

Answer 6

yes it is sometimes. it depends on wat kind of veggie-tarian u r lol.

anyway-vegan-no milk products, egg products or ANY animal

           -ovo- no milk products or any animal ( eats eggs)

           -laite- no eggs or any animal ( eats milk products)

           -ovo/laite- no animals ( eats milk and eggs)

           -non red meat eater- every thing except read meat ( eats milk,eggs,poultry and fish)

i hope this helps so which do u classify ur self under?

Answer 7

"Meat" used to mean food. Nuts have "meat". Even fruits and vegetables can have "meat".

Vegetarians do not eat animals.

Cows, chickens, fish, shrimp and clams are all animals.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Nonveg all

all concidered as meat

Answer 11

chicken and turkey yes

not sure 'bout the fish

my friend "claims" to be a vegan and

eats salmon?!?!?

Answer 12

Chicken and turkey are poultry, fish is fish. Meat would be pork, lamb, beef and venison.

If you eat fish and poultry you would not be considered a true vegetarian. There are all sorts of vegetarians, some who eat eggs and milk products  with their vegetarian diets (ovo-lacto vegetarians) some who eat no animal products at all (true vegetarians) and others who will not touch anything that is not organic.

Many people do not eat any sort of red meat, only poultry and fish, but it does not mean they are vegetarian in any fashion.  

Answer 13

What a pile of nonsensical answers you've received!  A vegetarian does not eat meat.  Meat includes chicken, turkey and fish.  Therefore, NO vegetarian eats chicken, turkey or fish.  Period.

Answer 14

if u are going to be a vegeratarian to eat no meat and get the protein u need it will soud crazy but eat alot of hemp seeds they have the highest amount of protine (in seeds) in nature  

Answer 15

That depends. Most vegetarians eat no animals. Some people don't eat red meat (beef, deer etc) but still eat white meat (chicken, turkey etc).. while some vegetarians eat no animals apart from fish.

I don't really think people who eat any animal are considered "vegetarian".  

Answer 16

I personally consider it all meat and that's why, as a vegetarian, I don't eat any of them, but most people don't consider fish meat and a few vegetarians go and say they're vegetarians that eat "poultry." I think that's sort of rediculious. There are different types of vegetarians also. Lacto-ovo vegetarians don't eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products. Ovo-vegetarians do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs. And there are all other types...

Answer 17

I consider every thing with a face meat so yeah that plus like gelatine n dat

Answer 18

YES!

A pescetarian is someone who only eats fish and sometimes chicken and turkey, though....

You are NOT a vegetarian if you eat ANY animal flesh.

Answer 19

Meat is the flesh of a dead animal.  ANY animal.  Vegetarians don't eat dead animals.  ANY animals.

Answer 20

Yes. If you are a vegetarian you don't eat anything that was once a living animal. If you are a pescatarian, it means you don't eat any meat, with the exception of fish.

Answer 21

chicken and turkey yes.

fish is sometimes. its weird because some sources say yes it is meat. while others say no its not.

...if you wana be vegetearian you can only eat fish. but if you wana eat like chicken and fish, then youd be pescatarian.

Answer 22

yes they are.

chicken, beef, pork, ham, turkey, fish, anything thats flesh from an animal is meat.

Answer 23

I'm a vegaterian but i eat fish. Chicken and turkey are definatly meat but people who don't eat fish are called pescetarians.

Answer 24

chicken and turkey, yes    fish, sometimes

Answer 25

Yes chicken turkey and fish are considered meat but if u want protein you could eat tofu.

Also eating 20 pounds of fruits and vegetables a day will help u lose weight.

Answer 26

fish comes from a fish, turkey comes from a turkey, and chicken comes from a chicken. Therefore, it all comes from animals and YES they are MEAT.

Answer 27

for a full vegetarian, all three are considered meat.

for a pescitarian, they can eat fish, but that's it. So if you're like new about being a veg., go pesci if you need fish/protein in your diet.

Answer 28

it depends on the "type" of vegetarian you are.  My former stepmother is a vegetarian.  She eats dairy products, and on special occasions she'll eat poultry and/or fish.    I know some vegetarians who will consume  dairy products, however won't eat poultry or fish.  And then there's vegans, who won't consume dairy products or poultry or fish of any sort.  It all depends upon why you choose to become a vegetarian.    If you are against the poor treatment of animals for use of food products, then becoming a vegan is the way to go, if you choose to become a vegetarian just for health reason, then perhaps you'll want to include dairy, poultry & fish in your diet.

Answer 29

From a culinary standpoint, no. Chicken and turkey are poultry and fish is fish.

However, biologically they're pretty much all meat. To most vegetarians, they are all considered meat. (Typically, "meat" is used to refer to the flesh of animals.)

Answer 30

Chicken and turkey should be obvious. Fish however, is meat substitute. So fish is not entirely meat.

Answer 31

yes chicken turkey and fish is all meat my way of describing meat is that meat is any animal you have to kill
