I know it's not any violation of Church teaching, but I've always felt somewhat disingenuous eating things like shrimp and lobster, especially during Lent.

To my way of thinking, a lobster stuffed with crab just isn't a sacrifice.

When I was growing up we usually had fish or cheese pizza.

I hear you. Unfortunately, my husband has diabetes, and he can’t eat much in the way of carbohydrates, so his diet is already quite limited. Pizza isn’t something that we can have very often, nor is pasta. Potatoes and bread are out as well. Sugar or honey? Verboten.
