I'm not a vegetarian as I do eat fish, but no other meats. However, I have a tendency to say I'm vegetarian when some one asks me to dinner or whatever as I end up having to spend less time explaining my dietary restrictions than if I say I'm kosher.

It turns out that the easiest way to keep kosher is to be a vegetarian. Fish with fins and scales are considered neither meat nor dairy, which is why I eat it.

Did you know that the Book of Mormon says that Mormons should not eat meat or, if they do, to limit it as much as possible? Most Mormons don't follow that one, but it's in there. Muslims have dietary restrictions, too, of course. Interesting that most religions with dietary restrictions could meet their requirements most easily by becoming vegetarians.
