For those vegetarians, who don't eat fish, why don't you eat fish? What is wrong with fish?

Vegetarians don't eat animal flesh. Fish are animals and so are shrimp and other sea creatures. If an animal has to be killed to get it, a vegetarian doesn't eat it.

"The term "fish" is most precisely used to describe any non-tetrapod chordate, i.e., an animal..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish A fish is an animal. Vegetarians do not eat animals.

All fish is meat All vegetarians do not eat meat Therefore, All vegetarians do not eat fish.

If u eat fish you're NOT vegetarian, vegetarians don't eat any kind of meat . I don't eat meat because I love all animals and respect'em including fish.

It's an animal. VEGITARIANS DON'T EAT FLESH! YOU ARE NOT A VEGITARIAN DON'T CALL YOURSELF ONE AND WH ARE YOU TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T EAT FISH! YOu're so anal retentive and a hypocrite =/ sorry

What do you mean "vegetarians who don't eat fish"? That is like saying "Christians who like Jesus"... It is just understood. All vegetarians do not eat fish because vegetarians do not eat animals. In fact, not eating animals is quite specifically what vegetarians do. However, I feel no need to persuade you or *sound convincing* because a person has to come to the decision of becoming a vegetarian on his/her own because that is the only way being dedicated to the lifestyle works. So, kudos on cutting out so many animals from your diet. It will make vegetarians' lives so much easier if you do not refer to yourself as a vegetarian or any term thereof because doing so causes confusion and taints the very word. Hope you become a veggie someday, but that is up to you. :)

You are not a vegetarian if you eat fish. Vegetarians do not eat any dead animals.

hey: Fish and other seafoods are alive,they breathe and move!Its wrong to kill them just for a meal,and our bodies will be like a graveyard! You my freind is not a vegeterian just a choosy eater!You gotta stay away from all animal foods to be a vegeterian! sanam

The problem is in your definition of vegetarian. A vegetarian is not one who simply stopped eating meat, but eats eggs, fish etc. Vegetarianism involves not eating higher order animals, insects and birds etc., and their eggs since the egg is a potential animal. Now unfetilised eggs are considered acceptable for vegetarians. So, whether to eat fish or not is upto you, but for a vegetarian, fish is a simple no. Vegetarians eat milk and milk products because it doesn't hurt the animal. Similarly for honey too.
