minus-squareDharkStare@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 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 confirm that chicken wasn’t meat. I’m not sure where this idea that meat = beef but it’s very prevalent.
