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.
