None of those things are meat, no. Meat = muscle tissue. Bones, hooves and connective tissue are not muscle tissue.

Hmm yes, I’m sure the average vegetarian would make that petty distinction
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s not a petty distinction, it’s an accurate and meaningful one: when I eat meat, an animal has been slaughtered for that purpose. When I eat or otherwise use gelatin, no animal has been slaughtered for that purpose as those parts are byproducts of animals already dead. Thus, no animal is killed for gelatine

I mean this implies that brain, blood, tripe, cheek, etc are vegetarian
