Dietary restrictions from ye olden days.

According to who?

Half-assed vegetarians.

>>7469033
catholics

In medieval times you weren't supposed to eat meat during fasting like on Fridays and stuff for religious regions

Fish (and any other sea creature)was claimed to not be meat to get around this rule.

It is meat but for ease of communication we also differentiate it from meat Jesus fuck are you really too retarded to have figured that one out for yourself?

WHEN

WE

But it is? Who the fuck doesn't consider eating seafood to be eating meat?

meat
miːt/
noun
noun: meat; plural noun: meats

1.
the flesh of an animal, typically a mammal or bird, as food

Fish, crustaceans = animals
animals are made of meat, ergo
eating seafood = eating meat

A lot of vegetarians, that's who. I'm not saying that it makes any kind of logical sense, but there's a fucking huge number of vegetarians who will happily eat fish.

And also the idea that "meat doesn't mean seafood" is very strong in Asia. The reasoning there is that Buddhism prohibited the eating of land animals like cows, pigs, chickens, etc but allowed for the eating of fish and shellfish.

fun fact: during the colonization of Canada, the Pope declared that beavers were fish because they lived mainly in water, so that devout Catholics didn't have to go without food once a week in the harsh climate

The bishop of new orleans declared that alligator is a fish and therefore not meat. This was this year.

Ask them why they don't eat meat, and when they tell you it's because poor animals have to be killed for it, ask them why a fish is any different. Nine times out of ten they'll give up eating fish too.

Then tell them what a pescatarian is.

for me its like this: i consider myself vegetarian since i never eat fish. (nor any other meat)
but i wouldnt have a moral problem with eating fish (still dont agree with methods of fishing these days). if i am able to kill it myself im ok with eating it plus fish is alot healthier than any other meat in terms of protein and cholisterin. thats my opinion on this
