  • I get the need to have a distinction between fish flesh and other meats such as beef, pork, and chicken, but using the same logic as in this article, I’ve always thought of fish as part of the general “meat” category. It confuses me how Catholics do the “no meat, yes fish” thing. Maybe there’s some etymological explanation for why our current-day definition of meat doesn’t explicitly have this distinction (assuming it ever did), but if there is, that context seems to have been lost long ago. For some reason, many people now just reflexively believe that fish is not meat – even non-Catholics.










  • Yeah, using humanoid aliens makes it easier to relate to them for obvious reasons (and is a lot cheaper for the costume and effects departments), but it’s pretty likely that alien life would be vastly different from humans. Just look at the huge variety of animal life on Earth alone.

    If you are in the United States, you are giving your money to Hershey for Kit Kat; it is licensed from Nestlé based on a previous deal with the original owner of the brand. I don’t know the exact details of the contract, but it appears that it was a lump sum payment which means no money goes to Nestlé for Kit Kat sales in the US.

    Still, Hershey is not much better, and this factoid is irrelevant if you are NOT buying the US version. Similar options include Tim Tam, Double Time, Dido, Trader Joe’s Wafer Cookie, Milka Leo or Choco Wafer, Little Secrets Crispy Wafers, and any number of other generic chocolate wafers.
