Do vegans look down on me because I eat fish and dairy, but not meat or chicken?

Answer 1

I don't understand the question. It doesn't make sense. I don't think anyone cares what you eat unless you claim to be a vegetarian..which you are not because vegetarians do not eat fish. Is that what you mean? Do you say you are vegetarian? If so, then yes, I would look down on you simply because you are not telling the truth.

There is no such thing as a fish eating vegetarian as vegetarians eat no animals. Kinda cancels the other out no?

Answer 2

I think the problem is not so much what you choose to eat. That is your personal choice afterall.

But, if you call yourself vegan and eat fish and dairy you're not being truthful. Being vegan means you don't consume anything that comes from an animal.

You're not even vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat fish. Fish is meat.

If you're not vegetarian or vegan and don't claim to be, I'm not sure what the purpose of the question is.

Answer 3

Ahem... fish and dairy, but not meat or chicken? Not meat? Not meat? Then what is fish? Not meat? Anyway, they don't look down on you. It's a personal choice, and yes, we all want to influence those around us at least a teeny tiny bit, but they don't look down on you. I'm pretty sure everyone in our generation grew up eating meat unless they're from a different culture... it just takes some of us longer to choose to stop eating it.

Answer 4

If you call yourself a vegetarian or a vegan and are eating fish or dairy, then, yes, they probably look down on you. If you don't claim to be a vegetarian or vegan, then they probably don't care.

Answer 5

I will be honest I am conflicted about people who cut out certain animals foods but continue to eat others.

While I am thankful for anyone's reduction in animal products, it is also frustrating. If someone can see that eating meat and chicken is harmful to themselves and the animals I cannot see how they cannot see that eating fish and dairy is also harmful.

Why do it only halfway? What stops you from becoming vegan? Fish and dairy are terrible for the earth, the animals and your body.

*I would not say I 'look down' on people that consume animals but I will admit that I hold other vegans in higher esteem.

Answer 6

You live your life the way you think is right, that's the best any human being can do, I will do the same. So no I wouldn't look down on you.

But you are incorrect in saying you don't eat meat. Meat = animal flesh, fish = animal, fish flesh = meat.

Answer 7

I look down on anyone that eats any animal flesh. I find it morally repugnant. I don't think you're any better for just eating fish than someone who also eats other animals.

Sometimes I wish I didn't feel this way, because it shows when I try to do outreach, but it is how I feel.

You look down on others who do things you find morally offensive too (child molesting, murder, etc.)

Answer 8

No I don't look down on you. I *would* look down on you if you went into a restaurant, said you were vegetarian and ordered tuna salad. If I go into the same restaurant, they are going to serve me fish and not see what the big deal is about. See what I mean?

Answer 9

Eating fish doesn't make you a vegetarian. You are eating an animal. Its ok to drink milk and be a vegetarian but eating fish is a no no.
