i was JUST asked at a recent gathering (that had only animal products for food) if i “still eat fish” and was met with shock when i said no. do people genuinely think fish aren’t living beings or something?

I think it has to do with traditional (religious? catholics) categorization of flesh into meat, poultry, and fish. they think “animals” means “meat”

A lot of languages also don’t consider ‘meat’ to include ‘fish meat’, having entirely separate words for the two.

but yeah, I think in the US, its mostly catholicism brainworms

I’m confused, fish are animals?

when they think “animals”, they think of the culinary category of meat. Not animal as in “animal, mineral, or vegetable”. It’s an overloaded word.
