This is interesting. A good counterarguments against one of the most inconsistent diets I know of. Vegetarians that reject meat but do eat fish.

Edit: I guess only stress == hyperthermia but it's still a step in the general direction.

Speaking as one, I don't avoid meat because I oppose in all cases the killing of animals for human consumption. I'm a pescetarian because I think the environmental impact of industrial agriculture, both in emissions and in land and water use, is unnecessarily large. Similarly, I try to mostly avoid milk for the most part, which a lot of vegetarians who wouldn't touch fish don't seem to have any objection to...

I gave up fish before I gave up meat for reasons of sustainability (there are only so many fish in the sea).

Vegetarians that accept the lifetime of torture and misery of milk production but base their diet choices on a life with one bad moment of a death.

I've never understood that.

Eggs too.

All factory animals really. Even bees.

The work of Joel Salatin really challenged my veganity. [1]
