Until I moved to a city, I didn't realise that there was a type of person who claims to be vegetarian yet eats fish. What are fish if not living animals? Plants?
I know someone who pretends that they can't eat any gluten (they forget, and do)... it's pretty odd. It must make them feel special; it's a gimmick.
I used to be vegetarian until I went to too many restaurants and was presented with too many bad vegetarian meals (gunk with a layer of cheese) that I had to have something that involved meat, for my sanity. And then I realised: I don't really care about eating, say, chicken or salmon anyway; they're rubbish animals. I will never eat lamb (I like sheep) or beef (I like cows) but those... I don't really care. I just don't eat animals that I like.
