Isnt true that vegetarians dont eat meat? Well I met a guy who claimed he was but he had some sushi for dinner

Question

OK, I mean sashimi (raw meat).

Answer 1

Actual vegetarians do not eat any meat. Some people are confused and call themselves vegetarian when they eat meat. Fish is meat and no vegetarian eats fish.

There are no levels of vegetarian besides vegetarian and vegan. People can call themselves anything they choose, however it doesn't make it so.

Answer 2

Yes, it's true.

As for it not being meat... that's silly. Fish are living animals, and eating their flesh is eating meat. I've never heard of a "vegetarian" excluding a certain group of meat. If that were true, I'd be a vegetarian. I don't eat pork or fish, but I love chicken!

Edit: Just to drive the point home with some people who say vegetarians can pick and choose... no, they can't, not if they are truly vegetarians. Like someone below said, you can call yourself one, but that doesn't make it so. Here are three separate dictionary definitions. Note the specific references to fish:

"vegetarian - noun
eater of fruits and grains and nuts; someone who eats no meat or fish or (often) any animal products "

"vegeˈtarian [vedʒi-] noun
a person who does not eat meat of any kind"

"veg·e·tar·i·an - 1. a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc."

Answer 3

There is veggie sushi, but since you later clarified and said he ate raw fish, he's not a vegetarian at all. So he's either very confused or he's lying to you and himself.

Vegetarians do not eat the flesh of ANY animal, and fish are most certainly animals. Vegans exclude all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and honey.

Answer 4

Some sushi is ok for veggies!! Unless you know for a fact that is had seafood in it then he his a fibber!!

A true veggie is a true veggie there is no such thing as a veggie who eats certain meats including seafood!! People who eat certain meats and say they are vegetarian are full of it!! Meat is meat raw or cooked!! He is not a vegetarian!!

Answer 5

sashimi is raw seafood...some people think that only red meat is "meat" or that you can be a veggie and eat fish. depends on where you come from (in europe, i know vegetarians still eat fish) however, generally speaking, if it had a mom, it's meat.
he may be Vegaquarian (only eats fish)

Answer 6

This guy is a pescetarian.
They are not really vegetarians, but like the image of being one. LOL.
Over all, there are no rules, you control what you eat, but a real vegetarian will often call out a pescetarian.

Answer 7

plant life dont have a powerful apprehensive equipment, subsequently no soreness nor thoughts. the morality subject in basic terms is provided in to play while the slaughtered being can actually sense it. some vegetarians arent even vegetarians as a results of morality subject so youre in basic terms attempting (and could i say failing at it) to attraction to area of the inhabitants. you will get additionally all nutrients from plant matter while you cant from meat. additionally Eggs- From chickens. you basically killed a toddler chick. homicide is erroneous. eggs that are fed on on the common are actually not fertilized, so its style of like eating the equivalent of chickens era, not embryo.

Answer 8

This is just another case of people using words they don't understand.

Here is a link to a website that defines vegetarians and the different kinds of vegetarians.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegitarian

Please note the just because some people call themselves something doesn't mean its true or that they are lying. The simpe truth is they can be just mistaken.

Answer 9

You're right, a vegetarian abstains from all meat - that's any kind of flesh - anything that had a face. That would be a: pig, chicken, cow, duck, lobster, crab, etc. And yes, crustaceans count too - at least in my book they do.

Answer 10

Fish IS meat. It's the flesh of an animal. Maybe he didn't quite understand what a vegetarian is or he was lying, being sarcastic or his version of the vegetarian diet includes fish.
