RE: Rainbow's website promotes eating fish?!? (corrected)

[Guest guest]

OOPS. left out an important word!

 

 

 

 

Hi all,

 

Just want to clear up some confusion.

 

, Warren's original post was a request to ask Rainbow to provide balanced information so that people really can make informed choice. He suggested links with another perspective of (not) eating fish.

 

The intent of my post was to say issues like that, which are important to veg*ns and to animals, are often topics at the monthly letter writing parties (LWP).

 

 

 

As to Warren's original post -- Since Rainbow is a vegetarian establishment, I agree, it does seem odd they would provide links to eating fish ("make informed choices about buying seafood"). As many customers know, the only meat sold at Rainbow is for cats and dogs. In fact, on their website, they also say "we tend to think of animals as our friends" in their statement of why they don't sell meat.

I will remind them in my letter tomorrow that fish are not "seafood". They are sea animals. I have found that "fish" is the one animal that a few pseudo-vegetarians still eat (fish is not a vegetable). And I recall one "vegetarian" restaurant changed their menu to add fish and was still promoting themselves as vegetarian (they are now out of business).

 

Hope to see some of you tomorrow at the LWP. Everyone is welcome, both land and sea animals! Dana does a great job organizing and bringing topics and all the writing supplies. Here's the link
