In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Most interesting thread, and not unexpectedly long, as this is a very emotionally charged issue. Why?

What about fish? Do you equate this with meat? And what do you guys think about fish oil supplements and such?

A fish is an animal. There are 3 classifications: animal, plant, mineral.

As for fish oil, a good vegetarian source of Omega oils is flaxseed oil.

One good reason to stay away from fish (aside from the plethora of reasons to avoid meat in general), is that humans have polluted the oceans badly. There is everything from medical waste to radioactive material in our oceans.
