What you are describing isn’t Vegan, thats a selective vegetarian. Most vegetarians ether have some fish or dairy to supplement their diets.
Vegan being completely without any kind of animal proteins whatsoever.
Eating fish invalidates you being vegetarian.
Its in the name.
You either consume meat or you don’t.
inb4 pescetarian - you’re still consuming animal flesh.
That’s right…you wrap all those lies you tell yourself like a security blanket. Keeps you shielded from the truth.
at least I don’t lie to myself and everyone else and like Necrotrophic and how he calls himself a part-time vegan
Any ways depending where you get your fish, wild caught from polluted waters or shit-tier farm raised salmon, you aren’t really doing yourself any favors.
I wouldn’t knock all those people buying gluten-free.
While they are idiots, they make it cheaper and easier to obtain.
My partner has celiac disease, she can’t eat gluten, it will literally give her bowel cancer if she does. All these gluten-free health nuts make our life easier.
Gluten-free exists for the people who can’t process it, sure.
But if you’re eating gluten-free purely for the sake of it, at best you’re just making it harder to get fiber, at worst you can be hurting yourself.

I find most people buy gluten free not because of celiacs or some other medical condition but because its trendy and their yoga-attending new-age hippy friend convince them its good for them
I work in a super healthy preppy uppity trendy workplace.
It’s everywhere. But, I’m the one who gets in trouble when I say it’s unhealthy to eat GF unless you’re celiac.
I work in a Supermarket with a Natural and Alternative foods Dept, which always gets confused with my dept (Dairy).
I hear the whole health foods speak all the time. Some of it is just the regular misnomer nonsense, and some of it goes into the deep end.
I also was told by a Jewish customer that our kosher food isn’t kosher enough because there a non-jew (me) handling their food.
I didn’t tell them that their Kosher horseradish and Kosher Half-sour pickles ships on the same pallet as pork bacon.
I mean, in most of America vegetarians are typically lacto-ovo vegetarians, not “vegetarian”. It’s usually just shorthand for “I have weird eating habits”.
til fish are animals
never really thought about that before
The lacto-ovo classification is redundant. It’s the archetypal vegetarian, as they only exclude meat. You have your sub categories like ovo-vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians, sure, who exclude eggs or dairy, or other animal products, in addition to excluding meat.
Tell that to the vegetarians eating fish meat.
Just admit y’all half assing.
Ole “I only eat meat every other day. Im totally a vegetarian/vegen!” asses.
Fish are animals, yes.
Also, all life on earth share DNA and a common ancestry as far as we can tell. So you are a plant and an animal and a fish and all kinds of other shit like monkeys and stuff.
News at 10 for more obvious things we were taught in high school that funnily enough remain true.
No but seriously I thought it was common knowledge that we all share DNA and anything living not considered plant life is an animal/Bacteria etc.
The thing about gluten free diets, is it was a great way to get people to stop shoving breads and other high-carb foods down their throats. You wanna lose weight and generally just feel healthier without doing much, just stop eating so much of that crap. But now they just buy gluten-free substitutes that have their own issues. It’s the artificial sweetener fad in a different form.
That’s it exactly man but higher demand = more competition, more range and lower prices.
I say let them be dumb because in the end it makes our lives easier.
Except that is a fallacy, ever read the ingredients list in a gluten-free substitute item?
It’s filled with the same garbage that makes actual, regular bread unhealthy. It’s still filled with carbs, additives, preservatives.
Not me, I have to deal with those idiots at work.
@Darksakul you must have misunderstood me or something. Not sure how, but that’s all I can make of your post.
I should have worded it better, fallacy as them (people who eat gluten free) not you and your post.
Oh ok that makes sense.
