Is fish meat? and other comments from a newbie

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I'm a lurking very newbie. I am a total lacto-veg. working on becoming

vegan. 'Spyglass Baitzman',John, wanted to clarify if fish is a meat.

To add confusion , it depends which part of tht world you live. Totally

vegetarian coastal dwelling people in India consider fish fruit of the

sea and eat it. So,John ,you'll have to decide for yourself.

 

I have found an easy way to enjoy foods that are otherwise considered

non veg , I leave out the flesh. I even do it with any baked thing

calling for eggs except , of course , you can't have a soufflé or

certain pure egg cakes. I don't use protein substitutes but suppliment

more veggies. Everything tastes fine. The varieties are a pleasant

surprise to my non-veg friends. You never feel that you're missing

anything.

Hope I have not strayed from the subject too much.

Thank you

That's very interesting. I'll try to remember to ask my Hindu vegetarian

friend from coastal eastern India (Gujarat) about that. It could lead to a good

discussion. Thanks for bringing it up.

I agree with you, Mamta Gupta. According to East Indian (Vedic)

belief fish is considered less than a plant in the consciousness

development (you know, the lower consciousness the less pain). I

don't understand how but I respect that belief.

There is an egg substitute based on soja that I found in biological

stores in Germany. I tried it out when baking birthday cakes for my

children last year and basically you didn't see or taste a

difference.

Scientists have recently proved that fish feel pain. What more can I say - fish

is an animal - it has a face, a brain, a heart. What vegetables have faces,

brains and hearts.
