noo seafood is not meat...im a vegetarian -i don't eat beef or anything- i don't take any dairy products, besides egg whites and yogurt, but i eat seafood, such as shrimp, fish, squid, and octopus. that's still a vegetarian.
UHHH how is seafood not meat? Correct me if im wrong but tissues from animals = meat.
Squid = Animal
Shrimp = Animal
Fish = Animal
Octopus = Animal
Therefore tissues from these marine animals = meat. Maybe I'm just insane.............................hm....

As someone who eats a strict vegan buddhist diet, I have to break it to you but you are not considered a pure vegetarian. You are considered a pescotarian or semi. There is also pollotarian. Basically someone who avoids certain types of meats (such as red meats while still eating seafood, pork or chicken) Pesco describing seafood, pollo describing chicken..etc.
However you ARE correct in terms of definition of the word meat. The word meat for human consumption is usually used to describe livestock that is raised and butchered by a butcher, like pork, beef, chicken, however this doesn't make seafood NOT animal flesh.

i thought vegetarian only eat soy stuff.... like i heard there soy meat to replace regular meat...but honestly, i don't get how this vegetarian thing works anyway.... my ideal vegetarian person is no meat of all sorts including seafood, cow, pork...etc anything that is alive... so anyone care to explain in details ...really appreciated ^.^
Some vegetarians eat soy meat substitutes, some don't. What don't you get? Your idea of a vegetarian is usually considered pure, real vegetarian. The other poster who said he/she ate seafood "but is still a vegetarian" is not, he/she is a pescotarian.

yeah, I always think its funny when people eat seafood but still think they can call themselves vegetarians.
I talked to a girl recently and said she was still because "crabs and stuff don't have blood"..I had to break her the bad news and tell her that they indeed do have blood, it a very deep blue and tends to blend with the innards.
I couldn't believe she was 20 and actually believed this.

i dont like meat, but i didnt want to be really nitpicky either about what i ate. It isn't healthy to have a lot of meat in your diet, period... so..... yeah.
