No, but you might speak a load or carp

She seems to be focusing on her lips at the moment......one thing at a time...

HA! HA! HA!!

He's not exactly going to have read it, is he?

You mean in 2016 we now have the right to change scientific fact whichever way we want and make it all up? I didn't hear about this new legislation!

I like it though

Can I offer another perspective as someone who does eat fish but not any other meat. I don't want to eat anything I can feel an emotional connection to and I don't feel any emotional connection with a fish. Does this make me a bit hypocritical? Yes, probably. However, my reasons are to do with personal feelings, not values or morals. I don't hurt anyone else by my choice and would never dream of trying to tell anyone else what they should or shouldn't eat. And when it cone to being asked about dietary requirements it is just so much easier for everyone to say you're vegetarian than pescatarian. I get really hacked off with being called names for choices I make about food.

Sometimes it is the name.......I just eat, what I want, without any need to announce myself, or name myself.

To be fair it's not like a long line of scientists spent their entire lives logging and categorizing a gazillion different species and wrote it all down in books so that her teachers could just tell her, on the odd occasion she actually went to school..

I really respect that. The worst thing about people saying they're this or that is when they make excuses for it.

I don't eat insects, what am I?



Fussy?

what do them scientists know compared to Bear's mate at the bookies who told him to keep it under his hat?

They are both trying to play 'the Joey Essex thick card' but have underestimated one important thing , they are actually really not that bright anyway

I mostly agree but in certain situations if you want to be fed something you can eat there is no choice

Thank you

She's at it. Nobody who has runs their own business believes a fish is a plant.

Fish or not. Animal or not. She is still munching on something that had a face

Vegetables have faces too!

Eat the things around it is your choice, but don't try and say you have a 'label' and make yourself seem 'better' for your choices.

If you read my first post I think it is very clear that I absolutely do not consider myself to be better or worse than anyone else bit I haven't eaten meat in 22 years and I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for a vegetarian choice to be available in certain circumstances. At the moment I am working from 8 in the morning to 7 in the evening. Lunch time is a working lunch with catered food. If we didn't request a certain amount of vegetarian food there would be several of us who wouldn't get to eat at all. I'm not sure why I should be expected to starve just because some people are bizarrely outraged by the fact I choose not to eat meat.

You cannot be serious!?

*John McEnroe's voice implied

I had a friend who was a staunch vegetarian, and asked her why she loved wearing leather skirts, shoes and jackets. She was mightily upset, needless to say we are no longer friends.

Yeah, you know your arguments are weak when you are relying on reminding your opponent that it is THE CURRENT YEAR

You could tell she knew very well that fish count as meat but she's deliberately choosing to ignore it when she said "please don't ruin this for me". What is the point of falsely calling yourself a vegetarian anyway?

'I heard it around' that just made me sigh with sadness for his poor lonely brain cell but I did laugh.

As for whether you are a vegetarian, pescatarian or vegan, that's your choice. But don't let it define you.

As the saying goes 'how do you know if someone is a vegan? They never stop fecking telling you'......

Poor fish get such a bad deal...not being cute or fluffy 'real animals' and all. It always amuses me when you see on tins of tuna that its "dolphin friendly". They must look forward to the day when they see a tin of dolphin proclaiming that it's tuna friendly.

Lol, it's crazy isnt it. I don't fit into any category as I no longer eat beef, pork or lamb but do eat chicken and fish. I want to be fully vegetarian but really struggling with weight gain and illness after giving up most meat.
