[mrs. chris martin]

Hmm Im not sure, by initial guess is that it was around 2002-3. I was watching that documentary episode from the south america tour recently and he said he wasnt a real vegetarian and that he is what is known as a pescotarian/pesco-vegetarian which means he eats fish. He also went on to say he based his eating style on whatever he thinks he would be okay killing, to which he said he could and has killed chickens. So im not too sure what he is?

shhh dont tell everyone!

[Cobalt]

Doesn't he like chicken but? :thinking:

[Vadette]

From what you say I would call him a pesco-vegetarian that hasn't excluded birds from his diet. That means he is okay eating dairy, eggs and probably gelatine (but that is very individual).

[katja]

If he eats chicken he isn´t a Vegetarian!!!

[Cobalt]

If he eats fish he isn't a vegetarian either

[mc_squared]

Doesn't he like chicken but? :thinking:

Do you mean chicken butt?:confused:

[Megalomania]

Maybe he isn't really a vegetarian.

[mc_squared]

Maybe he isn't really a vegetarian.

You're suggesting he's only pretending to be a veggie?

:stunned:

[Cobalt]

Do you mean chicken butt?:confused:

I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON THAT.

No, I do not.

[mc_squared]

I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON THAT.

No, I do not.

So what did you mean?:confused:

[Vadette]

You can eat chicken and still be a vegetarian. Chicken is considered a bird, so it does not count. It only specifies which kind of vegetarian you are. The thing is to not eat cows, pigs, etc etc. For example I'm a lacto-ovo-vegetarian. That means eggs and dairy is ok, but not fish or birds. As I understand it Chris is a pesco-vegetarian which also can be refered to as a demi-vegetarian (demi means half in greek).

If he eats chicken he isn´t a Vegetarian!!!

I'd have to agree with Katja as chicken is clearly meat.....

[Crests]

I thought he was a pescetarian....

WHOA SO CONFUSING

[carkids]

he is a vegetarian, he just doesnt eat red meat, i mean pig or cow.

[aniskywalker]

So he isn't a vegetarian ;)
I would say, he is a vegetarian from time to time, that's all.

Vegetarianism is the practice of following a plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, with or without dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat meat, including red meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacea, and shellfish, and may also abstain from by-products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived rennet, found in some cheeses, and gelatin.[1][2] Vegetarians may consume these or other unfamiliar animal ingredients unknowingly, however.[3]

Vegetarianism may be adopted for ethical, health, environmental, religious, political, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or other reasons, and there are a number of vegetarian diets. A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, such as dairy products, eggs, and usually honey. Many vegans also seek to avoid using any other animal-derived products, such as clothing and cosmetics.

Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish or poultry, or other meats on an infrequent basis. A pescetarian diet, for example, includes fish but no meat.[4] Those with diets containing fish or poultry may define "meat" as mammalian flesh and may identify with vegetarianism.[5][6][7] However, vegetarian groups such as the Vegetarian Society have stated that diets containing fish and poultry are not vegetarian, because fish and birds are animals.[8]




I do know only ONE THING..... HE EATS LOTS OF CHOCOLATE....:laugh3: Other than that who know's, fish, chicken and turkeys is what I've read.

[jelynch2]

I would think his vegetarianism is just like any other lifestyle commitment people make. You often slip up and at times, it's hard to stick to - especially since (from what I've gathered) he didn't grow up as a vegetarian. It's hard to change your ways, so he probably eats meat infrequently. It seems like this is a lifestyle choice for him, not something he must do for his health or something, so he probably can afford to falter more than people who absolutely cannot digest meat or something. I'm not upset with him for being a sort of vegetarian. I think at different times in your life, you're different things. So, at certain times, he's probably a strict vegetarian and at other times, he's a bit more lenient. You know he feels an inordinant amount of guilt, though, everytime he even thinks about eating a piece of meat, so that balances it all out for me. :)

He said in the Boombox interview that he wasn't really a vegetarian because he sometimes eats fish and he explained that he eats what he would be comfortable to hunt. I think is quite valid.
One of my best friends is a vegetarian , but every now and then she would eat fish or ham if she has to( only that, she won't eat chicken or beef) especially when she has little choice with what she eats, like eating out or at someone else's house. But she's a vegetarian like 98% of the time.

I believe the same could be the case with Chris, but I don't really know. People shouldn't be upset because that's a very personal choice and it's not as if he was promoting it or something.
