I think this country could be in danger of becoming under-nourished..... .....

People clearly aren't convinced cos they keep eating the stuff . Not surprising when you think that sausages and bacon in various forms are what northern Europeans have survived winters on for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

I thought they said some red meat was good for you? I think it was poor quality meat that was the problem though they weren't sure why. We buy prize-winning sausages from our butcher that are just meat and pretty much fat free. Mind you every butcher in France seems to have prize-winning sausages. There seem to be lots of competitions.

j08 If we don't eat red meat, we'll die too.

We might have needed all that fat to survive northern winters hundreds and thousands of eons ago.........before the advent of central heating.

How do vegetarians manage?

Yes, one of them seemed to think some red meat is beneficial.

Oh! I see!!!

Yes. You are quite right. #bitslowtoday

What bits of you are low today JO8?

(don't ask!)

This vegetarian is managing fine thanks, though I have to confess to being really a piscetarian.

Oh! I get it - pisces - fish.

Why do fish-but-not-meat eaters call themselves vegetarians? I've never understood that.

They don't! They call themselves piscetarians. #notalotofpeopleknowthatannodoes

I suppose there isn't a word for a meat eater who restricts their meat intake to watermeat as opposed to landmeat. You can see I'm struggling here!

But they don't generally call themselves piscetarians. That's the point.

And anyway, that wouldn't be accurate either. People who eat insects aren't called insectivores, but animals who only eat insects are.

No, piscetarians are omnivores who restrict the omni. We need to invent a word.

I eat meat but I'm not a carnivore.

the sign of pisces is a fish. so it must be right.

like this

But.... oh, mever mind. anno knows what I mean

piscivore or piscetarian?

I prefer piscivore.

Hmmm. I suppose herbivore's the one for real vegetarians.

that's a question, btw

How about demivore / demitarian

I'm a bit of both - confusetarian perhaps

Basically no red meat............mostly

How about "I don't eat meat"?

Bags that's what I usually say, but I still frequently get offered chicken
