Explain something to Me please not OT

[Guest guest]

I heard a silly commercial and even though we are not vegetarians Tiny

gave me the strangest look because he knows that Miss Donna is a

vegetarian. Anyhow the commercial (on sirus radio online) says that

Christy Brinkly is a vegetarian that still eats fish.. Tiny says fish

is an animal and wants to know how she can consider it a veggie. I

have read here before the reason for this but cant find it to explain

it to him.

 

Thanks in Advance Jenn

Hi Jenny

I am one. Donna was the one who put me right. We are pigoen-holed as

pescatarians or pesca-vegetarian. Yes fish is an animal, and this is the only

meat that we eat.

As for the arugment for or against it, well, I am a pesca-vegetarian for moral

choice and dietry choice. There is a certain morality to it as well, as the fish

are really the only free-range products out there I guess.

Anyway, my chief reason is, or rather was, health, and the range of additives

that were added to the meat as well as animal rights. However, eating fish is

probaly one of the greatest sources of toxins these days.

I work in Angola, here meat is often the only food available, so eating fish

means that I don't go hungry.

Another reason is environmental, and I do only eat that which is sustainaly

harvested.

There are many reasons why one makes these choices, vegetarianism, meat, what

ever. My sister-in-law, for example, is a flexi-pollo-vegetarian; generally the

only meat she will consume is chicken, however, if eating at a friends or is

presented with a meat dish, she will eat it. Her reason is simply taste, she

doesn't like the taste of meat.
