[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly do you think, dear OP, it means when you write "My 12 yo DD two weeks ago stopped eating meat." That she is pescaterian? That she eats meat?
And then you call the us stupid?! Stupid is as stupid.....

No she expects you to read her original post where she says vegetarian/pescatarian BEFORE responding [/quote]

You’re either a vegetarian OR a pescatarian. [/quote]

OP was referring to the meals, not her daughter. The meals she cooks for her are sometimes vegetarian, sometimes pescatarian. Hence the slash.

The various irritated PPs are right that it's not technically accurate, but people frequently talk about "seafood," then lump beef, chicken, pork, lamb, etc. under "meat." It's common usage, if a little sloppy. Just look at the signage in your grocery store: it probably directs you to separate "meat" and "seafood" sections, right? Somehow, people seem to manage the distinction OK there, so hopefully we can manage here without taking each others heads off.

Also, OP is two weeks into this with her daughter, and she's trying to support her choices and help her learn how to approach this change sensibly. Give her a break if she hasn't mastered all the terminology, or worked out exactly what her daughter's diet is going to include or exclude just yet.[/quote]
