Thanks for the facts!
As far as the fish thing, I have friends that do that, and they usually have different reasons for it.
One is veg. for ethical reasons, but doesn't feel bad about killing fish. Some don't eat redmeat in order to lower their fat intake, and fish fits well into their health plan.
Myself, I think fish are way too cute to eat, and the "meal to death" ratio is too high for me (1 meal usually equals 1 animal)
On the subject of saving lives, PETA reports that the average vegetarian saves 83 lives per year! (not harping on the killing issues, just thought it was a neat statistic)
