Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 When people do this, it seriously annoys me. It can cause all types of confusion and misconceptions. " Fish-eating vegetarian " is an oxymoron. Vegetarian: one who does not eat animals. Fish: an animal. Hellooo?! Is that really that hard of a concept to grasp? I usually explain it in the way mentioned above when someone describes themself as a pesco vegetarian or whatever. Usually they get the picture.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 that's what I tell them. Semi-vegetarian also rankles. Either you are, or you aren't. If you don't eat red meat, then you don't eat red meat. I never called myself pollarian, and I never called myself vegetarian until I decided to stop eating flesh.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 I guess it's one of those 'in an ideal world' things. I know what you mean about using an item until it is worn out but I think wearing leather perpetuates the myth that animals are needed to clothe and keep us warm. It depends on when and how you want to draw the line. Danielle Kichler <veggietart wrote: OK, but what if it's leather bought before the wearer turned veg? That's grandmothering it in, and once the article is worn out, the person buys a cruelty-free item.Danielle"This is your American dreamEverything is simple in the white and the blackYou will never need to see the grey anymoreYou will never have to be afraid."--Everclear----Original Message Follows----wendy shapiro <wendyzshapiro To: Subject: Re: vegetarian meat eatersThu, 12 Jun 2003 11:39:26 +0100 (BST)There must be a special name for people who say they are vegan or veggie and still wear leather.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi Danielle > OK, but what if it's leather bought before the wearer turned veg? That's > grandmothering it in, and once the article is worn out, the person buys a > cruelty-free item. Personally, this is what I did (in fact, I've still got a 10 year old suit which is 40% wool). To me, the point of being vegan is not to do any more harm - continuing to wear / use items which are no longer contributing to that harm seems OK to me.
