So do you eat fish?

I’m veggie. Mostly. If I want meat, I eat it. I can hear all the hardcore veggies take a sharp intake of breath. Well guess what? It doesn’t matter. Absolutes rarely exist.

Why?
Partly health, partly weight loss (which worked a treat), partly because meat makes me feel like crap, and partly because the idea of growing animals then hacking them up for my dinner just doesn’t appeal.

But what about “insert stupid statement here to try and catch me out or make me look like a ‘hypocrite’”?
I just said, there are lots of reasons, and I sometimes eat meat. I’m not trying to torture myself or seek attention, I just don’t want to, most of the time.

So do you eat fish?
Is a fish a vegetable? Is it an animal? Is it grown and suffocated for my pleasure? No I don’t eat fish (unless I want some).

It’s really quite simple. We all eat things that we want to eat. I just want to eat animals less than most people, most of the time. It is easier to say “vegetarian” than trot off this whole page every time someone asks. There, not so hard, was it? 😉
