"Let me be a good catholic, I will not go to a Chinese restaurant", having said these words, a colleague went to Subway for lunch. The idea is not to eat non-vegetarian food.

How does one describe non-vegetarian food. Anything that is a plant product? I have seen many people who consider eggs as vegetarian, some who consider fish as vegetarian. And some people consider milk as non-vegetarian. I once heard from someone that deer meat is considered vegetarian in some cultures.

"I personally consider nothing wrong being non-vegetarian or being vegetarian". Isn't that an open statement and subject to interpretation. But why even the classification between vegetarian and non-vegetarian. People argue that eating animals is non-vegetarian. Animals feel. My argument is "don't plants breathe and feel". I remember having a lesson titled "Plants also breathe and feel" in my science class when I was a kid. The author was some scientist who proved that plants do feel pain when something happens to them. So how are they different from animals?

I am a vegetarian and I eat egg - is a common statement one can hear many times. I am a vegetarian and I eat beaf - is another common statement. So is it taboo to be vegetarian? And more funny is the creating of new terms - eggatarian, fishatarian. Then what is humanitarian?

Whatever one wants to eat, eat it! Just do not eat my brains......

My questions
1. How do you define vegetarian food (1 point)
2. Define eggatarian (1 point)
3. Whats wrong in eating what you want to eat (1 point)
4. If I want to eat something, can I make amendments to the definition of vegetarian (1 point)
5. Fish doesn't have feelings - TRUE/FALSE (95 points)

Any more questions are not welcome.
