Why can some vegetarians eat fish?

[Hayes J]

...because that really doesn't make sense to me, that its ok to eat fish but not other animals.

Vegetarians don't eat fish

BY DEFINITION:Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products), fish (including shellfish and other sea animals) and poultry.

Pescetarianism is a dietary choice in which a person, known as a pescetarian, eats any combination of vegetables, fruit, nuts, beans and fish or seafood, but will not eat mammals or birds. Some animal products like eggs and dairy may or may not be part of a pescetarian diet plan.

So there you have it =) Do me a favor: When another pescetarian calls themselves a vegetarian, CORRECT THEM *hugs*
