No one is a Vegetarian

people who say they are a vegetarian do not eat meat right well you would be surprised on what they use as exceptions and even worse the reasons why they are exceptions.

Fish
it is defined by Webster that Meat is animal tissue used as food. so then why is fish not a meat. when i confronted a few people about this and must i add that they were religious, they commented that it is not a meat because the religion says it is not and that is why for instance they can eat it during lent. the only logical reason i can come up with for explaining why fish is not counted as a meat is because back when the religions defined what meat was they said "its in the water so it is different then what walks on land, therefore it isn't meat." so i will make a similar conjecture. "so if fish is not meat, and meat is muscle therefore fish do not have muscle".

Shellfish
Shellfish is tricky because of the weird body structure it has an exoskeleton system so most people would say that the inners are not muscle and that the ligaments and exo control movement. wrong again, shellfish is meat because of the definition of what meat is. nothing more to say.

Chicken
i hate using the triplet rule but i must since this is topic in which requires Consistancy, what i mean is i am going to quote again that by definition meat is animal tissue and on a bird there is animal tissue that a person eats, therefore it is meat. maybe not red meat but meat none the less.

Eggs
Eggs are to meat just as nuts are to whatever group they go in. eggs could be argued into a separate group even though if you look at what they are. their animal tissue wrapped up in a nice little oval shape. even though it is odd to think of them as this but an egg is an undeveloped embryo which is animal tissue used as food.
