Yep -
Yep -Called pescitarians?
They’re pescatarians not vegetarians.
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.So do they overlap? I need a Venn diagram.
Thanks for the clarification, every day is a school day.No. They’re two separate things. You can’t be a vegetarian and eat fish. A pescatarian is just someone who doesn’t land based animals.
I think historically people used to claim to be a vegetarian while still eating fish but they’ve been reclassified.Thanks for the clarification, every day is a school day.

It’s the antithesis of the woke, liberal snowflake.what’s this obsession with the insult gammon all the time. I’m middle aged and couldn’t give a fk about this?
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.

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

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.
As long as it's not jailbait, I can't see the problem.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.
It must be different just up the road, in Bristol the vegan option and restaurants are amazing and plentiful.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

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