Because Dairy and seafood are very healthy and nutritious and impossible to replace from plant sources. Of course if the dairy is organic and the fish is wild even better.

What is the point of this? Why bother asking a "question" that you're going to answer yourself?
WE. DON'T. CARE. If you want to eat meat, FINE. WE. DON'T. Get over it. Christ, I don't why you people are so obsessed with us.

To start with, I eat both dairy and fish, but I completely disagree with you.
Actually, dairy is a horrible food for the majority of the world. It causes lactose intolerance in everyone except people with a mutation - Northern Europeans, some African populations, and some South Asian populations. East Asians, North and South American aboriginals, South Pacific Aboriginals, and people from plenty of other places get gas, vomiting, and diarrhea from eating dairy, since they are not lactase persistent.
So your argument may have merit, if you argue for white people.
Organic dairy cows are still treated with antibiotics and hormones. Is that healthy? I don't personally think so. Why do you think that makes for a healthy meal?
Whether fish is super healthy or not is moot. I eat it, but I can honestly understand why a person would believe that the mercury, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and other carcinogens in fish are not a part of a healthy diet.

If dairy and seafood are so good, then why are some people intolerant to them?
Dairy causes osteoporosis! I drink milk once or twice a month, not gallons a week like I used to.

Any diet, vegetarian or vegan, if organized properly, can be very healthy and nutritious. Just try to do some research, and you will be amazed at how many vegetables or fruit can be high on proteins and iron. Even pumpkin seeds are a rich source of protein!
But of course you are free to choose any diet you like.

You are SO incorrect about the health value of dairy. Casein is implicated in cancer growth and the cholesterol in dairy food is the only thing one can't replace with a vegan diet. And the only argument in favor of seafood is omega-3, which you can get from flax and walnuts.

Clearly you have not done your research. Some of the ppl above have done a good job answering this. You are deluding yourslf if you think that dairy and seafood are good for you. Get educated.

To start with, you aren't entirely correct. Done correctly, a vegan diet can be just as healthy as a vegetarian one. There is nothing in dairy and such which can't be found in certain plants.
Secondly, the diet you're describing isn't vegetarian to begin with. Vegetarians don't eat meat. As such they don't eat fish. Fish is meat. Learn your vocabulary.

You are entitled to your opinion, unsupported by evidence thought it may be. Why aren't all the vegans sick and dying then?
By the way, real vegetarians don't eat fish.
I could ask my wife; she's a registered dietitian, but I already know you're wrong.

I must be dead and didn't even know it. You would have thought that day long hike I just made would have given me enough reflection time to figure it out but no. Boo

who know why? me know you make rude, wrong words on your screen then send them around the world where more brains have read them (maybe you like wasting all our time with you comments?!!!), milk is for baby cows (who then still need 4 stomach's to digest it) we are not baby's and have never been cows...why is that good?!!
fish, blah-blah... omega oils are found out of the sea too my friend - don't you know??
then why state your opinion as fact??
maybe all that milk has clouded your judgement!?
peace
