Apparently fish aren't animals. :)

Everyone keeps making religious connections, but it’s worth pointing out linguistically most countries in Europe (and the world) refer to red meat, poultry, and seafood as entirely separate. Meat often just refers to red meat. English is in the minority to bucket them all under “meat”

From a story point or view it makes sense. Why try to please those not present at Christmas table.

If the table was filled with carrots as guests, do you think the rabbits would be invited? The original wolf would.

I know, I know, it is about bettering yourself.

Maybe they did that because the Intermarche makes more on fish than on meat.

Right? I think it’s a christian thing. There’s gotta be something about eating fish being okay in their bible because the amount of times I heard “fish aren’t meat”

Intermarché owns a massive fleet of fishing boats. That could explain this.
