Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I was just reading Christiane Britton's blog, 28 cooks: http://28cooks.blogspot.com/ And I learned a new term!! She calls herself a " vegaquarian " . Well, I suspected what that might mean but, to be sure, I googled it. A vegaquarian is a vegetarian or vegan that eats fish. In fact, I went to vegaquarian.net and it says: grains + legumes + fruit + vegetables + fish - meat = vegaquarian Which doesn't specify whether dairy is allowed in this definition. So, how is this different than a Pescatarian? Anyone know? I'm wondering if a vegaquarian might be a vegan who eats fish, where a pescatarian is a vegetarian who eats fish.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 sounds like a new word for pescatarian to me. , Sharon Zakhour <sharon.zakhour wrote: > > I was just reading Christiane Britton's blog, 28 cooks: > http://28cooks.blogspot.com/ > > And I learned a new term!!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 According to Wikipedia, they are synonymous: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarian Several other variations are also given. -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , Sharon Zakhour <sharon.zakhour wrote: > > I was just reading Christiane Britton's blog, 28 cooks: > http://28cooks.blogspot.com/ > > And I learned a new term!!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I dont understand how people who eat animal products of any kind can be referred to as VEGAN. Fish is meat! The filets that people eat are muscle tissue of the fish, to me its no different than eating a steak. I dont really even feel that people who eat fish should consider themselves vegetarian, this is my opinion of course and dont mean to offend anyone. Our family is lacto-ovo vegetarian. We still use some eggs and cheese, but are slowly cutting those things out too. A true vegan diet does not contain any animal products, meat, butter, dairy, eggs, seafood, etc. Ok enough ranting from me.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 If they are still eating seafood they are a pescatarian. Seafood is sometimes the last a vegetarian gives up. If a person has given up beef, poultry and pork they have come a long way in the vegetarian path and usually seafood will come next. As odd as it sounds, many vegetarian cookbooks have seafood recipes in them.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I guess that doesn't sound so weird to me. I have known many people who don't really consider fish to be meat. Heck, the Catholic Church kinda set that mindset up years ago on meatless Fridays when everyone ate fish. :-) Now, I gave up seafood YEARS before I gave up meat. It disgusted me from a very young age - probably around 6 or 7. Heck, I'm such a weenie that I don't like the _name_ Mock Crab Cakes for that wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL Zucchini Patty recipe in our files. Have you tried THOSE yet, Maureen? SO GOOD! :-) (I sometimes call them Crabby Patties, a la Sponge Bob.) (Look in the zucchini folder and you'll find them. I plan to make them tonight, but I would love to know if they can be made in a less fattening way than deep fried.) I have some homemade hamburger buns in the freezer and I'm also making some (partial) whole wheat hot dog buns right now. It's summertime and the kids want their buns! :-) Sharon Donnalilacflower wrote: > If they are still eating seafood they are a > pescatarian. Seafood is sometimes the last a > vegetarian gives up.
