Six easy solutions for vegetarian meals during Lent

The Journal News

Did you know that if you give up meat for Lent, you can still eat fish? I guess with Jesus fish doesn't so much grow on trees as appears out of nowhere... The author of this piece recommends sushi for Lent, or tuna casserole. Failing that, there's so many ways to cook the flesh of fish, which somehow is not meat. I grant you that your average meat-eating Joe considers meat to come from a four-legged creature, but that just points to the ignorance I address in this letter to the editor:

In regard to Elizabeth Johnson's Lent piece, I'm getting really tired of reading about meatless meals and finding out that the writer is referring to fish. Meat is the flesh of a formerly living creature, fish, fowl, or mammal. To go truly meatless for Lent, one most forgo the flesh of all creatures. To suggest otherwise is doing a disservice to your readers, and the animals.
