Carnitarian

A person who eats meat but not fish. The opposite of a pescatarian. Carnitarian myths: Myth: You will mess up your brain without fish! Truth: There are plenty of non-fish sources of Omega 3. Some would argue that flaxseed oil is worse since it is not DHA, but our bodies can convert non-DHA omegas to DHA. Flax also has the added benefit of being mercury free. Myth: Countries that eat fish are smarter! Truth: Lets look at the statistics. USA is about 30th place worldwide for math, and Germany is twelfth. (Source: Business Insider) Yet Germany has a LOWER per-capita fish consumption. (Source: UN) Myth: But you haven't tried THIS fish! Truth: If I hit my hand on a glass wall, and then hit my hand on a concrete wall, would I have to hit my hand on a stone wall to see whether I like it or hate it? Myth: Fish is lean protein, with no cholesterol! Truth: Fish has cholesterol. If you want some lean protein, try some beans. People have such double standards. They have no problem with vegetarianism or gluten-free diets, yet they make fun of people who don't eat fish. One is "an alternative diet", while the other is "immature picky eating" in the minds of fish eaters.
