Why Isn't Fish Considered A Meat?

They must get sick of eating seafood ALL THE TIME.

Who? Fish?

I gave up religion but I was born Catholic.

Fish is Meat: Should we not eat it on Fridays? Read Jay Turchansky's reflection on why Catholic's eat fish every Friday during the Lenten Season.

"The third point brings us to an old debate of whether or not fish feel pain. For centuries it was believed they did not, but recent studies have been conducted which appear to prove they do."

ALL creatures do. Humans have to do this to justify practices we should have evolved beyond.

Good question. While you're contemplating it, maybe you can come up with a reason why it is OK to eat squirrel, beaver and rabbit (rodents), beef, pigs, sheep and goats, and moose, deer and elk, but it is expressly prohibited in the US to eat horse? I've never had it, but I don't understand why it is taboo.

Same reason anybody with the least amount of soul doesn't eat dog or cat. We, as a culture, consider these companion animals.

That is the majority opinion. But they are forbidden I'm the scriptures. And that is a remnant of our Israelite past.

Apparently you've never been hungry. Koreans, Vietnamese and Chinese eat dogs and cats. Some eat rats. Your companion animal argument doesn't hold water.

Catholic church.

Ugh. I hated how my mom always made us eat fish on fridays.

To me any flesh of an animal is considered meat and I tried amazing salmon for dinner at Texas Roadhouse tonight and this discussion came up. Why is food like beef, pork, and chicken considered meat when fish is not?

Because vegans like to eat it.

Because vegans like to eat it.

Seriously?

 

[jbrownson0831]

Seriously?

Well i figured thats why its not considered a meat, they must like it.

 

[Zebra]

Yeah because during Lent a lot of fast food restaurants serve fish that wouldn't regularly be selling it.

So it is.

'm not sure who doesn't consider fish a meat.

Catholics and Jews .. for starters.
