    One of the common misconceptions about reducing meat in your diet is that it you will need to supplement protein in your diet. If you eat whole plant foods, like fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and beans, you will get more than adequate protein.

    I think that's a really broad paintbrush to paint everyone's protein needs.

    There is no way I could cut and get enough protein from plants. I'd be over full and having to eat more than my calorie goals.
    Have you tried it?

    Fish is meat.........just saying!

    Actually some fish, such as swordfish, tastes like meat so I can't use it. Well then, where I live fish is fish, meat is meat--white or red, sort of like wine.

    I stand by my statement. Fish is meat. Not a fruit, not a grain, not a vegetable, not a dairy product, it's just meat.

    Then why, during Lent, can we Catholics eat "fish" but not "meat" on Fridays? I also stand by what I said.

    why? because they wanted to do something- (not eat meat) then realized they were not THAT dedicated- so they came up with a loop hole.

    you can say whatever you want- fish are living animals that are killed and then you eat their flesh.

    fish is meat. period- it's not an opinion. It's science- something of which the church knows little about.

    "Fish is meat" is not science. It's a language convention.
    Here, it is being used as "things I eat" in a classification strata.

    Has very little to do with science.

    Why would I want to???/ I enjoy eating meat, and don't see the benefits for me to stop eating meat!
