Hiya!

@SomebodyElse: I wasn't actually referring to you. CindyLennyCleo's post just sounded sort of argumentative to me, so I changed your quote (the navy blue portion) to clarify for her what I'm assuming you meant.

Ok, I was confused then. I felt I should clarify anyway, since I am not trying to attack anyone. I should have worded my original post better.

Hi! I'm Sarah. I am 14 and I live in Illinois. I am a pescetarian (that means I eat fish). I would be more likely to quit milk and eggs than fish, and I would like to but I don't have the resources. I am in high school, and I want to eventually be a country veterinarian like James Herriot. I have been a pescetarian only for a few months but I'm not going to quit. I have been flirting with the idea of giving up meat for a long time. I avoid gelatin mostly, and prefer to avoid rennet, but it's not always possible . I never wear leather (gross!)

I think it's very commendable that you have made a conscious decision to avoid those animal products. I hope you'll stick by your decision, even if you got a bad experience here. Don't take any of the comments in this thread the wrong way, they're not against you personally, they're just maintaining the board rules which exclude all animal flesh, not just mammals and birds.

... I feel bad about posting just to express my approval with an emoticon, so I'm apologizing about just giving a thumbs up without explanation.

I've actually stopped eating fish for separate reasons
I have no moral objections to them but just dislike the idea of dining on a carcass
