to be annoyed when "carnivores" eat chips?

[cumfy]

It cannot just be me who finds this irritating?

Someone who eats no meat, but does eat chips is a pescetarian. As a friend is a fully fledged carnivore it bugs the HELL out of them when people say "I'm a carnivore, but I eat chips" Or even worse "but I eat chips AND apples".....

The problem is there are now so many of these "chip eating carnivores" that people seem to assume all carnivores eat chips, and when I eat out and ask what carnivore choices there are, I get offered chips and the "true" carnivore options are limited to perhaps 1 or 2 dishes.

I have no problem with people eating just chips but PLEASE do not call yourself a carnivore when you clearly aren't one! I don't know why people do it, whether they think it's trendy or they are just lazy or confused about what they are.

I know this is a BIG rant but it really really annoys me. If I am a carnivore and someone asks me "do you eat chips?" I practically rip their heads off (which I know is unreasonable but there you go )

But AIBU to ask that people only call themselves carnivores if they actually are one???

oh god, I didnt understand a word of what you said.

I will award my first to you.......

YANBU because "you practically rip peoples heads off" so i'm sort of scared of you now.

Oh you are hilarious!!

Not.

If you've something to say why not just say it on the thread?

I think omnivore is the word you are looking for.

A carnivore (pronounced /ˈkɑrnɪvɔər/), meaning 'meat eater' (Latin carne meaning 'flesh' and vorare meaning 'to devour'), is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue.

You CAN be a meat eater and have chips on the side, or veg even!! D'oh!!

I prefer dauphinoise myself.

Ah f**k it the cut and paste didn't work :-(

It's a micky-take out of the fish-eating vegetarians thread, for those who don't understand.

I don't really understand the humour though!

I Have not heard of many people who are strictly 'carnivore' have you confused the meaning of Omnivore?

oh well I'm proud not to understand. But arent mickey-takes supposed to be funny?

Clever but not the point.
It is expected humans eat vegtables and whatever carbs grow well in their country - wheat,rice or potatoes. If you eat meat as well you are a carnivore and if not veggie or vegan. No point in saying omnivore because it would go without saying you eat veg too surely.

Epic fail, I'm afraid. The premise was good but the execution sucked. Sorry.

Have a chip.

...surely vegetarians that eat fish should be omnivores too...

twatty OP.

Lions don't eat chips.

What about chips cooked in animal fat - are they OK for carnivores?

Good grief.

Get thee to pedants' corner!

I take it you think they should refer to themselves as omnivores? Took me a while to understand what you were getting at, but don't understand why you find it so annoying.

I get it and found this very funny. The veg thread got far too precious and serious and in danger of devouring itself - which would have been very un-vegetarian, or vegan of those posters concerned.

- I liked it. No it doesn't really make sense but most threads on here don't either.

Technically I'm an omnivore

cumfy as a non fish eating vegetarian, I agree with you. I don't care how other people choose to label themselves, it simply doesn't affect me.
