Weird question...
 
I've been vegetarian for like, five years or so? I'll eat dairy, but no meat or fish.

The only time I ever crave meat, it's seafood. Mention salmon and I'm drooling haha.

So basically, do you think I should give in to the devil on my should and eat some fishes?

I'm honestly considering it, but these thoughts make me feel guilty as hell.

Yeah, moral dilemma.

atsonicpark 08.22.2008 06:30 AM

Yeah, go ahead and eat it. As long as it doesn't bother you too much. It's not evil to eat meat, it just bothers some people.

I don't eat meat, I don't like fish, but I don't want to be known as a vegetarian... I dunno why, I just don't like to title myself as such.

Toilet & Bowels 08.22.2008 06:58 AM

yes you should eat fish, it's really good for you

al shabbray 08.22.2008 07:03 AM

fish is the best when it comes to eat animals. very healthy very tasty.
some freinds of mine are vegetrians too, and they eat fish too. some of them not...but do it, if you feel like it

Danny Himself 08.22.2008 07:03 AM

And fish finger sandwiches with ketchup are the best thing since the sliced bread they are made of.

 


al shabbray 08.22.2008 07:13 AM

fishfingers
they are called fischstäbchen in german

next step 08.22.2008 07:20 AM

Toilet & Bowels 08.22.2008 07:39 AM

i like to eat sushi at least once a week, there's a japanese supermarket near my work and they do very good sushi.

evollove 08.22.2008 07:52 AM

If it makes you feel guilty, DON'T FUCKING DO IT!!

If it tastes good, it's okay? Bullshit. If it's good for you, it's okay? Bullshit. It's not like you're the most important element in the food chain.

Pookie 08.22.2008 07:53 AM

I love fish and thankfully so do my children.

My daughter's favourite is sea bass.

Fish cooked very simply is the best.

floatingslowly 08.22.2008 08:42 AM

eat the fish. they aren't very bright and surely won't mind.

GrungeMonkey 08.22.2008 08:45 AM

I spy another angry vegetarian.

Mind you, I'd be angry too if all I ate were lentils.

Danny Himself 08.22.2008 08:53 AM

I'm looking forward to eating McDonalds tonight. :)

Pookie 08.22.2008 08:54 AM

Life a bit empty lately Danny?

Danny Himself 08.22.2008 08:55 AM

I'm just really hungry.

Pookie 08.22.2008 08:57 AM

Why do you have to wait until tonight? As I say to my children, if you're hungry have a bit of fruit.

MellySingsDoom 08.22.2008 09:05 AM

People, people! Help is at hand:

Nah. I'm just saying that personal feelings override other considerations. If you wanna eat fish, have at it. If you feel guilty, "reasons" don't much matter.

floatingslowly 08.22.2008 09:19 AM

my canine teeth absolve me of any guilt.
you better tell it to jesus.

█████████ 08.22.2008 10:09 AM

i eat a dish of fish nearly everyday, i'm lucky to be surrounded by people that know how to cook it well.

yes. definitely yes. fish have very important fish oils which help against depression, fatigue, memory loss, etc. in other words fish is great for your brain.

we as humans have placed morals on top of our instincts, which cause permanent conflict. and we think morals and rules are superiors to instinct, but the body knows.
morality, on the other hand-- changes with fashion. yes, as humans we also have moral instincts-- but there are a lot of arbitrary rules that people make up as they go.

your body is the result of millions and millions of years of evolution. your ancestors ate fish. that's why they got smarter & moved to canada.

ha, so... definitely YES.

i can tell you i can easily live without cow, pig, and chicken meat. i dont really miss it. i don't or i rarely eat it.

however, i cannot live without fish and seafood-- it's a fundamental physical need for me.

besides, fish lacks the emotional brain of mammals. it's a whole other layer of brain-- before even reptiles.

and salmon by the way is one of the healthiest, most beneficial fishes there are. which is a reason they are worshipped-- in fact the whole ecology of the pacific northwest is salmon-based, did you know that? all those rainforests-- crazy as it sounds-- are salmon-based.


 


so eat it with love, eat it with respect, eat it with reverence, and eat it with gratitude, because you need it, and he would eat you if he needed you, so just say thanks and let it do you good.

also to all fish eating vegetarians... you are hypocritical in calling yourselves vvegetarians...... you are not id your diet consists of fish! vegetarians do not eat any living flesh be it red meat, white or fish...

PAULYBEE2656 08.22.2008 12:05 PM

A savage fish more terrifying than a piranha has been caught in Britain for the first time - sparking fears of a deadly invasion. The vicious giant snakehead eats everything it comes across and has even been reported to kill people.

The monster - from south-east Asia - has a mouth crammed with fearsome teeth, can ''crawl'' on land and survive out of water for up to four days. It is feared the fish had been smuggled in for an aquarium and then illegally released.

!@#$%! 08.22.2008 12:09 PM

lox. on a bagel. with onions and capers.


 

*drool*

!@#$%! 08.22.2008 12:10 PM

ps- i recommend wild salmon over farmed salmon any day in spite of the price difference. farmed salmon because of its weird diet is actually kinda worthless. go wild!

Food is not something you should ever feel guilty about. There's nothing wrong with eating anything that provides nutrition, especially if you're craving that thing. A craving is often a sign that your body needs something in that food. You should eat it and not worry about it.

Tibetan Buddhists eat meat because that is what their environment provides them to eat, in the mountains where not a lot of vegetables grow. If good sources of nutrition are available to you and you enjoy them, you should not deny yourself.

PAULYBEE2656 08.22.2008 12:43 PM

wild salmon= bright pink

farmed salmon=real dull flavourless beige colour.....

Rob Instigator 08.22.2008 12:50 PM

I say eat anything
Nearly every other living creature out there would gladly dine on your corpse.
why not return the favor? (I kow there are animals, such as cows and panda bears that feed solely on vegetsbles, but they woudl be very glad to have your rotting corpse fertilize the green plants they will eat, in which case you would be eaten by worms, bugs, bacteria, etc.)
think of it as granting their atoms immortality

everything you eat provides atoms for your body.

I disagree with this, it's like vegans telling vegetarians that they're not real vegetarians because they eat dairy.

There are many different types. The ones that eat fish are called pescatarian.

This is the biggest load of crap haahha. So, when you crave a bag of chips and a thing of pop, or body needs it? ;)


Anyways, I don't think I'm going to start eating fish regularly. From time to time though, why not. If it bothers me so much I don't have to go it again. It's not like it's hard to cut something out of your diet.

I'm mostly just mad at myself for not eating fish when I was in Trinidad and Tobago. Apparently the shark was too fucking good.

I don't ever want to eat cows, chickens, pigs, or anything like that. I think that's pretty damn disgusting.

ploesj 08.22.2008 01:23 PM

well i'm a vegetarian to, been so for ten years, and i won't eat fish simply because i can't even stand the thought of eating it. i never liked the taste of fish or meat so i won't ever crave it. but if you do, go ahead!

btw i just got the results of a blood test and apparently i have a serious lack of iron, vitamin B12 and blood in general. that's the bad thing of being the only vegetarian in a family of eight: the others don't want the good veggie food and no one has the time to cook extra dishes so i usually eat whatever the rest eats minus the meat. it's going to change though, these results made my mom see it actually is important :P

girlgun was discussing her uncle's cremation. I told her (and I want everyone else here to witness) that I DO NOT WANT this to happen to me. cremation would destroy my nanobot's abilities to self-recreate.

I want to be fed to the wolves.

Rob Instigator 08.22.2008 01:32 PM

"vegetarians" who eat fish are just deluded.
you are still eating the muscles, the flesh and connective tissue of a living breathing animal.

if you don't eat them something else will. vegetarians are not doing animals any favors. just their own conscience.
