I've been a vegetarian for over two decades. And eating the occasional burger doesn't make you evil, especially if you try to avoid (but it gets expensive, so if you can't afford it that's okay) factory farmed meat.

nayrt and yeah, this. I'm vegetarian, but after a few years of being pretty strict, I started allowing occasional fish into my diet. Not because I absolutely craved it, it was just nice to have options if I'm having dinner at someone's house, at a restaurant that isn't very vegetarian-friendly, or just feeling like I need protein that isn't beans/tofu on occasion. Since it's not a regular part of my diet, I'd still describe myself as vegetarian. But to me, "vegetarian" is a word that just generally describes your diet, it's not inherently some ideology or religious cult, despite what some vegetarians/vegans might have you believe. :P

Anyway, depending on your reasons for going vegetarian, I guess how you resolve this is up to you. If it's for animal cruelty reasons, then maybe look for the occasional meat that you can be confident is free range and cruelty-free. If it's for environmental reasons, know that just by severely reducing your meat intake, you're already reducing your carbon footprint. If it's for religious reasons, medical reasons, or you ethically oppose eating animals at all... then suck it up and get those veggie burgers that look like normal burgers. lol

AYRT--I actually haven't eaten any meat in over 20 years with one exception; my uncle had made bouillabaisse and wanted everyone to try it; I had a spoonful because I didn't want to be rude. I do disagree that you're a vegetarian if you eat fish, partially because explaining to people that when I say "vegetarian" I don't mean "no red meat," I mean "nothing that has a brain," gets super annoying after awhile, as does ordering "vegetarian" food and having to spit it out because there's meat "but it's just fish/shrimp/chicken/etc" in it. And part of my annoyance is pedantry; someone who eats a mostly vegetarian diet with fishy exceptions is a pescatarian, not a vegetarian. More people should use the word.

Since vegetarian is consistently used with varying degrees, I also have to disagree. There's no strict definition of vegetarianism. As long as people are asking you if you eat fish, that means the word has the connotation for it. I've heard people who simply don't eat red meat call themselves vegetarian, people who usually don't eat meat, people who eat fish, people who don't eat any meat ever, people who don't eat any animal products, etc. I argue again that vegetarian describes a diet trend, not inherently any kind of ideology. For me, I am perfectly fine calling myself pescatarian since I don't have anything to prove to anyone, but I'm also going to continue calling myself vegetarian because if I eat fish less often than once a month, by diet is still nearly completely meat-free. Plus, most people don't know what pescatarian means, so for that reason as well I'm going to opt for vegetarian.
