Catholics who don't eat meat during Lent.
Hate to break it to you buddy, but despite what some religious whack-a-doos tell you, fish is meat.
I mean it's pretty obvious what they meant especially if you have a pretty basic cultural background.
Right, but it's still all arbitrary bullshit, which I think might have been their point
That indeed was my point.
Are you aware that the word meat is also use to describe the fleshy part of an edible plant?
How a word is used matters. For Catholics, it is carne, any warm blooded land animal.
When using the word, different people mean different things. Catholics are not making scientific statements when talking about meatless Fridays. Scientists are not trying to upset culinary experts who include fleshy edible plants.
