GOD, don't you just hate people who say this? It's like they want all of the cred for being nice and meat-free without wanting to actually make any of the effort or sacrifice. Not that giving up meat was difficult for me; I was vegetarian for years before I actually decided to start calling myself one, because my family used to tease me about it. "You're not a vegetarian, are you?"

My anger was inflamed by this, from a myspace:

I'd send her angry messages if I had a myspace. Though I'm glad I don't have, because if I took up the mission to challenge all the idiots on myspace I'd have a lifetime's task on my hands.

So many of my friends do this too...one of them is always telling people she's vegetarian, and then goes and eats meat because she's "trying to get rid of it from of my diet". It's like Dylan Moran, except not funny: "I'm a vegetarian; not hardcore, I mean, I still eat meat, but just because I like the taste".

IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO BE VEGETARIAN. YOU JUST DON'T EAT DEAD ANIMALS.

i know what you mean, in a way. i know some people who say they are trying to become veggie ( i know i said it) in the very prestages of thinking about it, so i can understand all of that. but the people who say the whole 'im a vegetarian, but i still eat chicken and seafood" annoy the everliving piss out of me.
just because you dont eat red meat doesnt make you vegetarian!

i love steak. Med Rare with A-1 steak sauce.

thats great. go back to critiquing peoples looks.

Haha. Exactly. I don't really know why I made this thread, I was just really annoyed. I don't understand why people call themselves vegetarians if they eat fish, that makes no sense. Isn't that a pescatarian (sp)?

I don't think I've ever had steak. I know I've never eaten lamb or beef in my life (my mother had a paranoid fear about me getting CJD. I was also banned from eating sweets with gelatine in...I'm not sure what her justification was for banning lamb. Probably that she just didn't like cooking it, though.)

Is it just that I have a heightened awareness of them, or are we suffering an influx of aliases at the moment?

there are a ton of aliases. its making me insane too.
im not sure what the official name for fish eaters are. you may be on the right track.
it annoys me too...everyone who finds out that im a veggie goes "oh. do you eat seafood?"
how stupid are they? isnt seafood meat? and living creatures? NO I DONT FUCKING EAT IT, HENCE HOW I AM A VEGETARIAN. I EAT NON-LIVING THINGS!

as bad as it may be, i still want one of those "fish is not a vegetable" buttons.

omg if you find one get me one too!!!!!!!!

i saw a shirt once that said "im not a vegetarian because i love animals, its because i hate plants"

yeah. i hate how big of a deal vegetarianism seems to be (going either way.)
like, people who make a big deal out of being a vegetarian, like mentioned because it's cool now (seems to be among teenagers trying to be all alternative.) but the people who get all angry and defensive if you say you are, and then try to debate why you're stupid bug me too. i dunno. maybe it's just happening to me, but i'm getting a lot of 'oh, you're one of those' looks when offered food i can't eat.

i think most people think all vegetarians are preachy and are trying to convert everyone, so we're all condemned, lol.

why does everyone care what other people eat? it doesn't effect them in the least!

edit:
haha, i love that!

HOW COULD YOU GIVE UP THIS!!@!#

^^^
good god! that's ridiculous! haha

omg thats....well...sickening!

plants are living things too.

you would think that thing would be hard to cook all the way through.

ok, lets try that again.
i dont eat things with faces.

or things with nerve endings that can feel pain.

We have the proliferation of "vegetarians" (inverted commas necessary) to thank for that! Or piscatarians, whatever they are. I feel better after venting on the internet. I think this is the first angry thread I've made for no apparent reason on the Void. Oh, I did make one about my brother using my bath products once (he hasn't changed, if anyone was wondering; now he uses my Lush stuff without appreciating it at all ).

dont eat trees, they might have scott stapps face in them

oh, kick his ass for that. beat him with broccoli!!!

Wow! I've never heard of them before. I would also quite like one.

My mother has a cooking apron with that on.

I've heard people say that they "don't eat things that had parents" before, though I'm a biological pedant and that doesn't quite wash with me.

Hahaha I would, but I don't need to worry about it for much longer as I'm going to uni. in less than a month.
