Vegatarians eat birds?

And beavers too apparently.

As the article mentions, capybaras too.

Ah, but they didn’t die just to make them into oil.

If there were, I’d use it. I became a vegetarian, because I don’t like the way meat tastes. Never did. There were always battles at the table when I was a kid to get me to eat meat. Never had a problem with vegetables (and I always kinda resented that “kids don’t like vegetables” stereotype), but the only meat I would eat without a fuss were roast beef, well-done, and a few types of chicken.

I was so happy when I was on my own, and could choose not to eat meat. I choose not to use leather, because I don’t like the way it smells. Or feels.

I guess as an adult, knowing where meat and leather comes from has contributed to the squickiness, but when I was a little kid, I don’t think I even knew where meat came from-- I just knew I didn’t like it.

Today, yes. Not yesterday and not tomorrow.

If vegetarians eat only vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

I honestly thought this was going to be about the coconut crabs that they just discovered don’t only eat fruit and carrion, but attack seabirds opportunistically.

Humanitables.

I’ve known quite a few people who simply say, “I don’t eat red meat.” I never considered them vegetarians of any stripe and I doubt they did either. Are you sure they weren’t some wanker using the term WMV to get into some vegan’s pants?

When I was a kid such people often identified as vegetarians. If someone says “I’m a vegan”, I know what that means. If someone says “I’m a vegetarian”, and I need to find/prepare food for them, I ask them to specify.

Not really. Once he said there were 2 months with only three Wednesdays.

so the football player with the big paycheck it is then.

Is it like Lunchables?

I was taught (during a class discussing the practical origins of religious dietary restrictions) that abstaining from meat/fish OK was a way to keep the fishing industry afloat as meat became more accessible to common folk.
