Would you consider a person who eats fish or chicken a vegetarian?

No, not really. But I do think that, health-wise, avoiding red meat and pork is really good for you :)

nope. I like to use the word pescotarian or pollotarian rather than pesco/pollo-vegetarian. If they want their own labels, I think those ones fit better and aren't confusing.

I wouldn't, but for some people it can be a really good thing if they cant make the step to vegetarianism all at once. :)

Yeah, I agree that they're not vegetarians, but still doing some good if they're cutting back on the amount of animals they eat.

Absolutely not. Last time I checked, fish are animals too.

not at all. i'd commend them for not eating red meat, and hope they extend a similar consideration to other animals in the future, but they're not a vegetarian.

nope. Good for them for not eating red meat, but they still eat meat. Vegetarians eat NO meat. It has always driven me crazy when people are referred to as vegetarians when they still eat fish or chicken (I have noticed that authors of children/teen books do that a lot).

:no: Nope! But I think it's great that they're not eating red meat(unless they're just replacing it with tons of chicken and fish) because people who do that often decide later on to go totally veggie! :)

I hate it when I tell people I'm a vegetarian and they're like, "okay, let's go get some seafood!" Um, no. lol! I've even had people tell me that fish aren't animals.

Nope, but I like Astartes idea of calling them pesco/pollotarians.... maybe that would stop people thinking that fish is vegetarian :|

Absolutely not. Haven't seen any fish growing on trees that I can remember.
