I shall reply to my own thread because that is the thing people who didn't answer the thread questions in the OP in these cases!! And because I'm sure you're all very, very fascinated to know what I eat!
I'm a pescetarian, which, to most people, is just a word to describe a vegetarian who eats fish on occasion. That's really what I am, but vegetarians around the world will be up in arms if I say that since I'm not really a vegetarian since I still eat some form of meat. Predominantly, however, I'm a vegetarian with pescetarian tendencies from time to time. I don't eat fish often - maybe once a week - but I do eat it. For a while, I've been a full vegetarian, but circumstances prevented me from continuing that choice in lifestyle. I had to go back to eating meat. Luckily, I only had to go back to eating meat on occasion. I made the decision that I wouldn't be eating the main forms of meat the most people I know do - you know, beef, pork, turkey, chicken, etc. and decided that I would get what I need to get from meat only through fish. Still, if given the choice between a dish without fish and a dish with fish, I will choose the dish without any fish and I always look for vegetarian alternatives over it. It's a last resort sort of thing, and is mostly applied when I eat out and don't feel like eating a salad.
The reason I wanted to be a vegetarian mostly contributes to two things. For one, I watched a lot of documentaries documenting slaughterhouses. I've seen enough to know that most of the places seem to operate the same and I couldn't help but develop some emotional attachment to the animals that would be shot in the head and teared for their flesh. Because of the emotional attachment to the animals that I got, I developed the opinion that mass killing animals isn't something I wanted to participate in. You're probably thinking that it's a little hypocritical of me to say that, since I eat fish, so I'll rephrase that so saying land animals, which isn't going to stop you from thinking that, because it isn't stopping me. I don't really have a logical reason for excluding fish, but the reason I do is because I just don't see them enough like I do all the others. It's hard for me to imagine fish having feelings since they look so different compared to the animal in farms. The other reason is because I remember when I ate meat, I just couldn't stop myself from picturing sharp fangs tearing into my own flesh tearing muscles up. I also realized that I didn't really eat that much meat anyway, and wouldn't really be losing much.
I've also developed a lot of things from that that I don't really like due to this. I have a lot of friends who are meat eaters and when they ever bring up eating meat, I do think a little less of them in that immediate moment. I know, again, I eat meat since I eat fish, and that's hypocritical of me. There isn't really much rationalization in it. It's a very snap thing and doesn't last very long. I also despise it when people tell me to eat meat. And the thought of having a predominantly carnivorous diet makes me nauseous as I see that as extremely savage, uncivilized, and animalistic. That's not to say I think that of the actual people who live that lifestyle, though! Just the lifestyle itself.
