I swear, I don't know if it's a Catholic/Lent thing or what but I've been dragged to Italian-American restaurants and 80% of the "Vegetarian" section has anchovies. Like.. No matter how much mental gymnastics, fish is still a meat. Still an animal.

I've made the comment before and that was when I learned that some pope at one point decided that fish is not meat for Lent or Good Friday so the Catholics can further just larp their way to salvation. But the dude is an atheist.

This sort of stuff has me a bit extra cautious for places that claim to make vegan friendly dishes now though. When I treat myself I mostly go to 2 places now. One is a vegan-only food truck and the other is a place where of the owners is vegan so I can trust those but like I have a favorite curry place that has me questioning if they use stuff that isn't actually vegan and just don't know.

Fish are very much alive, sentient animals lol.

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
