OK - I am bracing for the 4-6 people who give every question a thumbs down and tell me what a jerk I am.
A few questions ago, someone used this article as evidence of vegetarians being more intelligent than non-vegetarians.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6180753.stm
Now, my question pertains to the following portion of the article:
"366 of the participants said they were vegetarian - although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken"
100 out of 336 is 30%. 30% of people who call themselves vegetarians eat chicken or fish.
I know there are many different "levels" of vegetarians, but isn't it simply inaccurate to use the word vegetarian when you eat any kind of meat, whether it be beef, chicken, seafood, ants, whatever?
I have no problem with those who choose to be vegetarian. I just find it silly when I see an alleged "vegetarian" chomping on shrimp or a drumstick. I even saw my "vegetarian" mother in law eating fries with beef gravy! Explain?????
