You are ruining my life, and the lives of millions of other people. You are lying to yourself and everyone around you. I hate you for what you are doing. I'm talking to you, pescatarians.

I need you to stop ruining everyone's lives, and stop calling yourself vegetarian. You don't know this but there is a vegetarian out at a restaurant right now trying to find something to eat. So he asks the waiter what there is on the menu for a vegetarian to eat, and do you know that the waiter suggests? Fish. I'm sorry, but the last time I checked a fish was still an animal.

You do not see the consequences of your actions, but I do. Every time you call yourself a vegetarian, but then you go ahead and order the Mahi Mahi, you set this idea that it is okay for vegetarians to eat fish. I know you're sitting there thinking, "I'm just one person. I didn't cause this problem, I only did that once." Yes, you may just be one person, but you're one other person making people think that vegetarians eat fish. Please just stop.

I need you to put yourself in my shoes for a second. I need you to think about my frustration every time someone asks me if I eat fish. No. I do not eat fish, I am a vegetarian. I do not eat animals, this includes fish.

I studied abroad in Florence, Italy. On the last night of our trip, a group of us went out to a five course dinner to celebrate our semester abroad. One of the girls we went out with claimed to be vegetarian. So, this other vegetarian girl told the waiter that she was a vegetarian and so she could not have a meat course. The waiter then asked her if fish was alright instead, and she said yes.

Now, I am a vegetarian, so when the waiter brought out the vegetarian dishes I was very confused when I found a fish sitting on my plate. Now I'm the asshole because I have to ask the waiter for something different. And now the waiter is confused because the other vegetarian girl at the table is perfectly happy with her plate full of fish, so why can't I be happy too? Well sir, I cannot be happy because this girl is actually just a pescatarian in disguise.

Please do not take this the wrong way, I think it is awesome that you're a pescatarian. I think that you can eat whatever you want. It's your body, so put in it what you want. Eat five Big Mac. Don't eat five Big Macs. I don't care what you do, as long as you don't call yourself a vegetarian if you're going to do so.

Eat well, be happy, live your life, but please whatever you do, do not say you're a vegetarian if you're just going to order the fish.
