Fish = meat?
My friends and I have been arguing over this one question and I want some outside input to this little argument:
If you are a vegetarian, are you allowed to eat sea food things such as fish, lobster, shrimp, crab, etc?
They say yes but I say no... any help you guys can provide me?

I'm vegetarian also, and know for a fact fish IS meat. Fish have brains, therefore they are animals, and vegetarians don't eat animals. But, lobsters, shrimp, and craps are all crustations, which do not have brains. PETA considers these as animals. Telling people to exclude them from their diet too, just as animals. But, since they are infact crustations, and don't contain a brain people eat them. It's all in how you look at the lobster, crab, and so on. If you consider then animals, don't eat them. If you don't, then do it. Everyone has their differn't veiws on what is what. But I do know, that fish ARE animals, so if you ate them you would not be vegetarian. As for me, I don't eat anything that moves on its own, animal or not.
I hope this helps a bit. Go to PETA2.com if your friend still don't believe you. Search around the site a bit, and somewhere you will find what is and what isn't considered okay to eat as a vegetarian. Basically, you can show them up. :D Haha Good luck! :]

it depends, its not a rule saying if your a vegetarian you cant eat fish.
My friend is a vefitraian but eats turkey and chickan.
Kind of weird.
It depends about what the vegitarian eats.
But fish is counted as a meat, i think.
But i dont think you and your friend should be arguaing about this.
Just say, we are both right and rong or something
hope i helped

it depends if that's what you believe in. see i believe fish are as equal as meat but a lot of vegetarians eat fish because they are cold blooded. i'm a vegetarian. but i don't eat fish so it's all up to you

Fish is meat, so you would not be a vegetarian if you ate it. If fish is the only meat you eat, it makes you a pesco vegetarian.
If you eat no meat but do have eggs and dairy, it makes you an ovo-lacto vegetarian, this is what I have been for the last 20 years. :)

There's no universal law about it. Some do, some don't. Some vegetarians just don't eat red meat(beef, pork, etc). Others don't eat anything from animals at all, including milk and eggs.
