I know - I also know some people like You said...
but (butt..) for me it's exactly as stupid as claiming that for example black people are worse then white...

I have been vegetarian (and vegan) in the past (fish IS meat). I love variety and bore easily. I've had many careers, I've found that when involved in a trade that requires hard physical labour meat is a must. If in an office-rat position or one that requires only light labour a veggie diet will do. I'm talking about a real healthy veggie diet, not like the bread & water musican-monk mentioned in an earlier post.
At the present I've found myself eating more and more like a vitarian: ie. going nuts on fresh fruits and veggies. This may be a reaction to having lived in that remote Norwegian valley for so long though! :0
When I'm in a space where I have the freedom to easily acquire and eat what my body really likes (or needs, in the case of meats, on occasion), and are able to discern what that is (which is the key) it has improved the quality of my life to do so.
I've seen veggies break free after a decade or more of veggie-hood. Locking yourself into one pattern of eating isn't necessarily good over the long run. In life everything changes.

I think it depends on which country you live in.
I worked at a Norwegian hotel for about 5 years and vegetablearians there didn't think so!
I've been a (no fish, thank you) vegetarian (not currently, though) and used to go to a vegetarian society monthly pot-luck dinner... One evening two old ladies came with a tuna casserole. The leader-dude stood up, by the long buffet table holding up the casserole dish 'Who brought the tuna casserole? People, this is a tuna casserole...' The blue haired ladies glanced around the room, but said nothing...
<edit> Oh, darn. It's been so long since I've been on this forum I've responded to my own last posting!

speak of necromancy
but it gives me the possibility to be a smartass: what is it you eat from a fish...? the "filet" - it is pure muscle tissue. what is the bloody steak you eat? just the same...muscle tissue. it's the same principle, but slightly different "evolution", since both tissues cause locomotion, but fish muscle is much much "tighter" and has to react faster and it's also moved constantly. mammal muscle is a different path, millions of years of divergent evolution, but still both is muscle tissue...which is what we call "meat"
