Why do people think fish is not meat. Certain people, for religious reasons eat fish thinking it is not meat. Beef is meat. Pork is meat. Why is fish not a meat.
Fish have eyes, blood, heart, and other organs needed for survival, so what gives? |

Quoted:
Why do grocery baggers always ask me if I want my gallon of milk in a bag? They don't ask if I want my bread, chips, or eggs in a bag. |

Quoted:
The same reason you can't get BPA in your plastic containers. Cutting corners. If I pay for a plastic container I want my BPA. Quoted:

From a humoral theory standpoint, fish were markedly different from land animals, their humors being more cold and moist compared to cows, pigs, chickens, etc. Warm blooded and cold blooded ckassifications of animals were still in the distant future.
That, and it allowed animal protein to be consumed on days of religious "fasting". |

I should have added to the original post. The reason I posted this thread is because my 33 year old neighbor is a vegetarian, yet she eats fish.
To me at least, seafood is a meat. This lady does not eat fried foods, yet she loves McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwiches. It just seems weird.

Yes fish is meat. What the church meant was pork and beef and lamb etc but did not say it specifically. The Catholic church has watered down what fasting on Friday during Lent means.
Lent fasting as known today was first mentioned immediately after the council of Nicea in the year 325. It has evolved over time. By the early 20th century the obligation of the penitential fast throughout Lent except on Sundays was to take only one full meal a day and that around noon. ... In addition to fasting, abstinence from meat was to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays and Saturdays in Lent. Now it means you can eat fish on Friday. This primarily came about because of the rise of the wealth of the middle class in Europe during the industrial age. Things began to change following the Second Vatican Council which met from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965. In early 1966 Pope Paul VI urged that the practice of fasting and abstinence be adapted to local economic conditions. Later that year the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops relaxed, but did not abolish, the rules on fasting and abstinence. However, the media and much of the laity interpreted these actions as abolishing the Church's requirement that the faithful abstain from meat on Fridays during the year and on Wednesdays and Fridays during Lent. They were wrong... I'm a Catholic and this is how I understand it to be. |

And I have heard that eggs are a protein meat. After all, it came from an animal.  The meat department is close by as well.

I have a kid who went vegetarian on moral grounds. That lasted a year. Then he discovered what the most fundamental cave man discovered millenia before him. You don't have to like killing it, but you gotta love eating it.  He destroys a fryer of wings. Must be okay to just main them.
Daughter is a pescetarian, but doesn't like veggies. Yeah, let me know how that pricey fish and fancy shit ends up in your cart when school is done.
I don't know where they learn this bullshit. ETA: Fish is meat from any possible perspective. I'm sure the internet abounds with facts to the contrary. |
