Does anyone else think this is ludicrous?!


Question:

Does anyone else think this is ludicrous?

When people say "I'm a HALF vegetarian" because they don't eat red meat? Personally I think to be in the first stage of vegetarianism you shouldn't eat any type of meat at all. What are your opinions on this?


Answers:
Ha-ha! I know that's like saying, "I'm a little pregnant." You either are or you aren't. You either eat meat, meaning the flesh of animals, or you don't.
I didn't even know there were stages of vegetarianism.
Personally, I don't even get the whole "I'm vegetarian, I only eat fish," deal. That's still the flesh of an animal! Hello?!

People who don't eat meat are just using up the reasorces of the animals they are trying to save.

I don't think Ludicrous is a vegetatiran quite frankly. He is too concerned with his bling bling and his various ho's.

they can call themselves anything they want, it is a free country

For every animal that a vegetarian refuses to eat, I eat 3, just out of spite.

Those poor chickens find themselves in a moral grey area.

I have never heard anyone use that term. Fish is a good source of protein so a lot of vegetarians opt to eat it, as well as eggs and cheese. If they are choosing not to eat any meat or dairy at all that is Vegan

I think it`s silly too.

I for example don`t eat any kind of meat, but I eat dairy products, still I don`t call myself a vegetarian.

Maybe these people wish they were considered vegetarians becuase it would make them more interesting in other people`s eyes.

yeah, i think it's stupid too. almost all meat eaters are half vegetarians, not everyone eats ONLY meat all the time. that person should just say, "i don't eat red meat" and leave it at that. yes, it is a free country....but you're just stupid if you don't know how to use words correctly. (i guess we're free to be stupid too, haha!)

Amen to that sister(haha). No but seriously I totally agree, and darkchocolate, you are a vegetarian :).

There are different types of vegetarians. It's personal preferences. Some eat eggs and milk products, some dont, and some only eat fish. There's no Vegetarian Law.

i am a vegetarian and while there arent stages of vegetarianism- there are types. i eat eggs dairy and fish so that makes me a:
lacto-ovo-pesco-vegeterian. i eat fish because of a certain blood condition and a history of bad heart desease in my family, so i cauton myself. look at vegetarian in wikipedia

yeah. love it when they say that they're vegetarian, but that they eat chicken and fish. do they just want to sound cool? I didn't know being vegetarian was cool. Or that they are "practically vegetarian, I hardly eat any meat" --whatever!

There's no such thing as a "half vegetarian." You people need to stop kidding yourselves.
Pigs are animals. Chickens and turkeys are animals. Fish are animals.
If you eat animals of any kind, you're NOT a vegetarian. PERIOD.

Just to clear things up:

Pescarian- eats fish but no meat.

Pollo-vegetarian- eats chicken but not meat

Vegetarian / Lacto-ovo Vegetarian - does not eat meat but does eat eggs/ dairy.

Vegan- does not eat meat, eggs, dairy, or anything that comes from an animal (such as leather)
