Know you can get mercury poisoning if you eat a lot of fish as a vegetarian? Talking about years of eating fish though but still, it happens.

not a very good vegetarian if they eat fish

If you eat fish as a vegetarian, you're not a vegetarian, you're a Pescetarian.

My vegie mate was saying how he found out he can't even eat some sort of cheese (think it might have been from Subway) because of how it's made. And then there's chips if they're cooked in the same stuff meat is cooked in - they will get stuff on them from the meat.

An even better one; apparently Smoky Bacon crisps are suitable for vegetarians but some other flavour (like Cheese & Onion or something) isn't!!

because some meats contain iron you need to take iron tablets to stop you from becoming anaemic

if you eat fish and no other meats your pescatarian
If you eat no meat but dairy products your vegetarian
If you eat no products of animals (meat cheese milk etc ) Then your a Vegan

yeah in cheese they use something called rennet in the process of making it, and some cheeses use rennet made out of the lining of an animal stomach, om nom nom!
and yeah, say if your like frying chicken, and then use the same oil to fry chips then all the stuff that comes out the chicken while your cooking it goes onto the chips. I guess that one's more a matter of principle rather than eating meat or not though.

and yeah, I never used to eat anything that had been touched by meat, so for example if I went to someones house and they made me a ham and cheese sandwich, then realised I was vegetarian and took the ham out, I wouldn't even touch it ha.
