Vegetarianism, anyone?

I know it's a bit beside the point, but why do people feel the need to separate fish from meat when they say the don't eat meat? fish is meat, it has a heart, blood, organs etc.

I honestly don't know; whenever I talk about what I don't eat, its just meat, eggs, and dairy. I always thought people knew that fish IS meat, but some people don't, so I guess some people feel the need to clarify? I'm not really sure, but at least they do clarify, because there are some "vegetarians" who DO eat fish, and they don't consider it meat, which just makes the rest of us look retarded. 0_o

I'm a vegetarian and have been so for almost 7 months and plan on being one for hopefully the rest of my life ^^ I would like to become vegan but i can't live without cheese O.O or my leather saddles.

Cool. There is vegan cheese, though, and stuff like that. ^-^

I tried to go vegetarian once...lasted about two weeks and then I had to have some meat. xD I really admire the people that can do it, haha. My reason was because I wanted to be healthier, because Lord knows what they put in fast food and meat products. Now I just try and get more healthy stuff, like kosher hotdogs, turkey burgers instead of red meat, etc. <3 Red meat is terrible for you, they say. D:

...soy burgers are delicious. |D

Its a big transition for the body to go Veg. The average person gets 4x too much protein in their diet and when you switch to a veg diet the body detects that drop in protein and tries to make up for it about the 10-14 day in. You will really crave the protein then. When I hit that phase I really poured the milk into myself to try and help. ONe you get past that phase it gets easier.
Its been nearly 5yrs since I went veg and I still get the craving for chicken once in a while, not red meat but chicken. I solve that with Morningstar chikn strips. Tofu is really good for alot of things too since it basically has no flavor on its own. I LOVE BBQ tofu sandwiches.

*raises hand* I'm a vegetarian!
I've actually been a vegetarian my whole life, but all I'm able to eat is turkey. That's only one meat though, I still consider myself a vegetarian.
