[quote=paula.m.moore;423170]I don't think anyone's arguing whether or not it's a "branch" of vegetarianism. I read pigsmakemesmile's post to mean that she's a vegan/vegetarian but will have to start consuming fish sometimes because of a recommendation after a surgery she had. I think it's a great choice and don't understand why you would want to "burst her bubble" about it. There are a lot of definitions on what a "vegetarian" is and some even include those that eat poultry in that category. What the definition is depends on where you go or who you ask, so I don't think it's appropriate to belittle her choices based on what you personally consider to be a vegetarian. [quote]

I never intended to be rude. Infact, I said that I did NOT want to burst her bubble, if you go back to check. I am not belittling her at all. I ALSO said that I commended her for her efforts! I'm simply stating that to me, vegetarianism is the ommision of all meat from the diet, including fish. That being said, if a doctor reccomends something after surgery, then I agree that she should follow his advice. Hopefully, someday she can ommit fish if she chooses. I was not at all trying to be rude. I appologize for coming off that way.
