Called pescitarians?

Yep -

They’re pescatarians not vegetarians.

So do they overlap? I need a Venn diagram.

No. They’re two separate things. You can’t be a vegetarian and eat fish. A pescatarian is just someone who doesn’t eat land based animals.

Thanks for the clarification, every day is a school day.

I think historically people used to claim to be a vegetarian while still eating fish but they’ve been reclassified.

It’s the antithesis of the woke, liberal snowflake.

 

[David O'Day]

not all middle aged people are gammon

Good should try listen to some of the filth that comes out a group of young blokes mouths especially at football

That’s what I’m wondering. If we can grow meat with no animal suffering and no environmental impact, what’s the problem? Other than it means you don’t get to swan around telling everyone you’re vegan.

Then again, oysters have no nervous system and therefore feel no pain but vegans don’t eat them I think.

They do have a nervous system, and will respond to stimuli. Whether they feel pain of not, that seems to be open to debate; but I'd imagine so.

I'm a pescatarian, and have been for 32 years. Sometimes it's simply easier to say 'I'm vegetarian' when being offered food.

I don't feel good about eating fish, as I don't wish death on living beings (well, other than flies). But, firstly, they have lived a life free from captivity and harm over the course of their life until death, are probably lesser sentient beings than land animals and, of course, the environmental impact of eating fish pales into insignificance compared to the environmental destruction and global warming that results from rearing animal for food.

There can be no solution to global warming and environmental destruction until we drastically reduce our meat intake.

Years after listening to adults doing the same thing when they were kids

 

[Alkhen]

Well happy about this, been Veggie around 2 years and really miss stealing my kids sweets

We decided that we arent forcing the kids into going Vegetarian. We explain why we are but it's tough as they both have school dinners and enjoy childhood favourites so whilst they are young it's not worth the battle. Also I feel It would be hypocritical if after my 36 years of meat eating I take the decision for them. I think its something you have to make yourself.

Spot-on.

Yes. Tried all those.

Exactly the same.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I opened this expecting it to be culture war all over. A genuine discussion with nobody losing their shit instead, fair play.

With regards lab grown meat I'd be seriously tempted, genuinely don't know what I'd do. Been veggie 12/13 years.

 

[Otis]

Same. Would certainly consider it.

Do you eat whitebait?

Do you eat whitebait?

As long as it's not jailbait, I can't see the problem.

Bird's Eye only for you then, not Young's

Do you eat whitebait?

As said, don't feel that great about eating fish, so it's simply cod/haddock if at a pub eatery where the only other option is a stuffed pepper, or else smoked mackerel when being conscious of keeping weight down (the combination of oils/fat/protein is a great hunger stopper). Otherwise, it's vegetarian.

Considering cod is being overfished perhaps best to leave it

I think I could easily go vegan especially at home but its going out to eat that makes it tricky. Christmas meals with work is always a trial. seems like pubs and restaurants conflate Veggie/vegan with being really healthy.

its a bleak experience eating a beetroot tart and salad whilst your workmates tuck into a full roast.

Another thing i cant quite understand is why Pubs seem to be sticking with the retro style veggie burgers, you know the type where is basically mashed potato with mixed veg and if you are lucky a bit of spice. would be so easy just get a few frozen meat replacement burgers. you can pick them up in tesco FFS

It must be different just up the road, in Bristol the vegan option and restaurants are amazing and plentiful.

I'm the opposite of you, couldn't do vegan at home because I'm a lazy cook but eating out I regularly go vegan without even realising.

Bristol is great

There are plenty of dedicated veggie/vegan restaurants and cafes especially in Stroud. Its more the country pubs and places work chooses for functions that dont really get it other than having a token veg option.

I went camping in Devon a few weeks ago and their only veggie option (all 4 of us are veggie) was a falafel and halloumi burger. Sounded reasonable so went for it. What cam out was the worst mush of vaguely herby mash with one tiny slice of halloumi on top and bread harder than granite.

I flushed mine down the loo.

In Cornwall where the other half is from you find the pubs are a lot better.

 

[mrtrench]

Great news. Its surprising how many sweets contain gelatin and hence have given up eating them for decades.

 

[skybluetony176]

If you live in Rugby or passing through try Sweet Retreat (Old fashioned style sweet shop) on the Paddox parade of shops. They label all their sweets up vegetarian and vegan if they are and IIRC they count anything with gelatine in as neither vegetarian or vegan. When you know what’s in them there’s actually more choice than you might think. They also deliver and will do a vegan mix but not sure how wide an area they cater for.

Just my belly will be fine, although at the moment, that is quite a wide area.

Stay clear of the liquorice

Man dies after eating a bag and a half of liquorice a day for weeks, say doctors

Consuming a large amount of the confectionery caused the 54-year-old construction worker's heart to stop, according to US medics.
