Nit-picking

I don't agree with these ideas at all but I'm sure people have reasons...
So how come people call themselves a vegitarian if they don't eat mammals or birds, but still eat fish? Or they call themselves Vegan if the only eat milk and eggs cooked in things? It is completely alien to me why people believe this, does anyone here know?
Not to say that you need to always completely follow the rules, but I think if you've commit to a lifestyle, you should at least be true to it.

 

My friend was a veggie for a bit until i pointed out that fish are alive and have a heart beat etc. Personally i dont agree that if you eat fish you can still be a veggie - and vegan still eating thing's cooked in milk and egg's is a bit out of place - you wouldn't be a vegan if you did that!

 

I just think all the levels and labels are ridiculous and self-serving...
