Bullshit, you ignorant prat. The writer only said the vegetarians of the
writer's acquaintance ate fish -- not ALL.

They're free to call themselves whatever they want.

Some vegetarians will take exception about by-products, which most
people in modern society find almost unavoidable. Those products end up
in cosmetics, shampoo, conditioners, and soap. Animal-derived products
are also used in pharmaceuticals. Is one no longer vegetarian because
