"Meat" does NOT include POULTRY or PORK in English. Or at least not in American English. Not when discussing what foods one does or does not eat. This has nothing to do with living anywhere in particular for an extended period of time.

YES, VEAL = MEAT, because it's still a cow. It doesn't matter if it's young or not. A cow is a cow. It's not like it's a caterpillar and then a butterfly. It's a small cow and then a bigger cow.

In this States, this is a common question:

Q: "You don't eat 'meat', but do you eat chicken?"
A: "Yes, I eat chicken. And seafood as well. I just don't eat meat."
Q: "What about pork?"
A: "No... well, I might put a little bacon on my salad."

This is from someone who "Doesn't eat 'meat'."

I would say "Dead animal." but only in mixed company.

I am using FAO classification, not mine. Other international organization use it as well. Do not ask me why.

Anyway, now we know it was only a problem of semantics.

So now you're anti-semantic?

Well, in China they also eat live food. I tried octopus and it is great but they fight back. How does it count?

I have been in Asia last summer and they eat a lot of protein different than cow: fish, sea food, chicken, dog, snakes, pork, but cow meat was unusual.

I think that the meat industry is going down because of soy. The land produce more money for less work with soy, simple like that.

So, that s explains the rise in food s prices since the soy boom.
I read that China is taking up 30 million people from poverty per year. It means that the demand and prices are going to continue increacing.

This statement is absolutely bizarre, especially when combined with the extraterrestrial dialogue you provided, which I have to admit got a solid belly laugh out of me.

On the one hand, there are only two authoritative American dictionaries, so it's pretty easy to clear this up:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/meat

http://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=meat&submit.x=35&submit.y=34

On the other hand, it probably makes much more sense to see the word used in context, no?
