Grocery store coolers are the natural habitat for steaks, chops, turkeys, etc.

My wife bought a jogging stroller so she can take our grand-daughter when she goes for a walk. When we were assembling it, we laughed - out loud - at the warning in the instructions:

Warning: Remove child before attempting to fold the stroller!

Couple of years ago I flew to Hamburg. I bought a bag of peanuts on the plane. The warning text on the bag read "Warning: May contain peanuts". I'm not sure which worries me most, the fact that people need to be reminded about the contents of a bag of peanuts, or the fact that it may - or may not contain peanuts. I ate the contents though, and they sure seemed to be ordinary peanuts. There is no spoon, and apparently there may not be any peanuts either.

I've had "serious" conversations with individuals who claimed up and down that eating fish was not a violation of a vegan/vegitarian diet, because fish "weren't animals." One of the more surreal arguments I've ever been in...

Religion had nothing to do with it.  The person was an atheist vegetarian who simply didn't understand that fish are considered animals in scientific terms.

OK, that's one atheist vegetarian and a buttload of Catholics sharing a similar view. 

IOW, during Lent, one should consume no meat, but fish was considered "not meat", hence Friday Fish Fry, etc. 

Prior to 1966, it was actually every Friday that one should abstain from meat...

It's different to believe it's not "meat" than it is to consider something "not an animal."  This person was a vegetarian because they didn't want to "harm any animals," not for health reasons, but stated they ate fish.  When I pointed out their hypocrisy, they doubled down and could not believe that fish are, in fact, animals.

My business partner is a devout Catholic who is not eating meat because of Lent.  I asked why fish was allowed, and the response I received was "because it's cold-blooded."  Though she couldn't explain why, only warm-blooded animals are considered "meat" in her faith.

Historically, the tradition of fasting for Lent was absorbed from a 'pagan' spring fast as Christianity spread to northern Europe.  Basically, all the winter meat/fat stores would go bad and/or food would need to be rationed for the village to make it until the ground thawed.  I think that this is why fish has always been given a pass -- it is not a stored food that would go bad.

Anyway, the point of fasting for Lent is not meat or no meat, it is about self-denial.  The only problem with eating fish on Fridays is if you would of wanted to eat fish anyway.  On the other hand, if you dislike fish, then you are still denying yourself whatever real meat you would have eaten that day.

That said, I've always noted that almost every vegan hippy f'tard loves sushi.  They don't eat mammals v. fish for any reason but to be counter culture.  "I'm like soooo different and interesting!!!"

"I think that this is why fish has always been given a pass -- it is not a stored food that would go bad."

Fish and meat both were preserved by salt curing in the middle ages.

I'm reading a history of salt right now that discusses this sort of thing.

In Medieval Europe, meat wasn't just forbidden during lent, it was forbidden during MANY "holy days," by the late middle ages as much as half the year was meat free.

Civil punishments for eating meat on a holy day could also be quite severe.

In Christianity the origins of not eating meat during certain periods apparently arose in the Catechisms as early as a.d. 98 and was an extension of pagan traditions as were many activities in the early church.
