No, thank you! As a real vegetarian you just made living my life a touch easier. How so? It means one less person spreading the fiction that vegetarians eat fish! Maybe you could also help us out by helping to 'spread the gospel'

Pesatarion? Do you eat fish then? Like a pesca vegetarian? As a vegetarian I applaud you for seeing that a fish is an animal and that you are eating its flesh. Now, you could still be a semi-vegetarian because if that is all the animal flesh that you eat and you still eat vegetarian, then I would say that you are a semi-vegetarian!
Now, why do eat fish? Is it the tuna that is easy for you to eat out of a can and they have told you that fish is good for you because of the Omegas in it? Did you know that you can get all the omegas from a combination of walnuts, flaxseed oil, or even hempseed oil that has the most! And most of those you can get organically without any pesticides and toxins, unlike the fish. Why does the government recommend strongly that young children (whose brains are sensitive to the mercury poisoning due to the fact that their brain is still developing), pregnant woment (due to the fetus' brain is developing), and older adults (due to the fact there is alot of toxins in the fish, and mercury could contribute to senility). What about us healthy young adults? Are we just a dumping ground for all these toxins and that our bodies can handle the toxins. . . . at the present moment. Plus toxins don't pass through us, they like to cling to your fat cells. So unless you are really skinny and don't have fat cells lying around, then I guess it is OK, but for the rest of us? I am not waiting for the announcement in 5 years that all fish is not good for us.

I don't understand your question, but I think you eat fish and no other meat, but are not sure what to call yourself? The terms "semi-vegetarian", and "pescatarian" were coined by the media to describe people who restrict their diets but not as tightly as full vegetarians or vegans. If you must label yourself, you would fit into either of those.

Please don't get hung up on labels! It really is nobody else's business what you eat or what you call yourself. I prefer "I don't eat meat" to having a category to fit into. You are an individual, and you get to make your own food choices. The label police should get a life.

Is that a question or just a post? I don't care what you call your self, as long as you can live with it.

There is no such thing as a semi vegetarian. Either you are vegetarian or not...period.
