minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-21 year agoI have several Indian co-workers who are “vegetarian” but eat chicken which I have been told “is not meat”. Also, my mom worked for the church and a large number of people would call up every Lent to ask if chicken was meat… I’m not sure where this idea that meat = beef comes from but it’s very prevalent.
