Well. I would rather have fish than bull like this. Whoever said that meatless Fridays....was ever anything except a matter of discipline?

"These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgences." Col. 2:23

severe treatment of the body

You must really like beef (or really hate fish)! You really think this is "severe treatment of the body"?

Certainly you don't think prayer and fasting are extra-scriptural, do you? Or is it sinfull because Catholics choose to do it together?
