limvillian Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I mean OK, from a completely technical standpoint you might be right. No, from a technical standpoint it's 100% wrong. The definition of meat is "The flesh of an animal as food". Therefore technically, fish is most definitely meat. From a modern linguistic standpoint you could argue that meat is limited to the flesh of mammals, but that's an artificial limitation based on usage, not on actual technical facts. Same as poultry is often excluded from the term "meat", but it's still meat. What I want to know is why eggs are always listed as dairy. I mean cows don't lay eggs.

mjmooney Posted July 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2012 They aren't dairy, but I think they get lumped in with it as they both qualify as "animal product that isn't actually the meat of the animal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I know eggs aren't dairy just always wondered why the were lumped in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 They aren't dairy, but I think they get lumped in with it as they both qualify as "animal product that isn't actually the meat of the animal". So, a cow pat would be listed as dairy as well ? ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, a cow pat would be listed as dairy as well ? ! only if you eat it? i've been to a village in India where all the houses are made from cowpat. strangely enough, they didn't have running water but had a tv in the house!

Shillzz Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Chaps, A group of my friends are currently fawning over the following photo on facebook, it has thousands of likes and comments along the likes of "OMG it looks so amazing" and so on. Am I being stupid, or is it clearly a computer generated image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 being and Ex IT bloke people in the office often bring their home PC's for me to fix when they riddle them with spyware and what not seems one of the ladys in the office husband has been up to no good on various chat rooms and has had women sending him pictures of themselves topless ... probably harmless enough but always amusing when i find this sort of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 3, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 3, 2012 Probably harmless enough? You reckon he's a trainee breast surgeon? I too get the "Oh you're in I.T., here spend 4 hours of your visit sorting out my **** of a PC that I can't use properly while I pay you **** all to do it". Eh, no, maybe next time.
