Think it had something to do with the early days of
the Cat-o-lick religion or some of the early insane
Popes. Rome being located on the Italian Peninsula
you know. Jutting out into Med Sea and all the early
fishermen wanting to corner the market in the early
days. So they petitioned the Pope to declare eating
cows and chickens illegal and he compromised an
made it a sin or something to eat any type of dead
animal during lent, except fish, especially on friday
when the catch of the week was brought into port
and the priests were there to levy a fish tax on the
faithfull or something likr that....SSDD as always.

the stricture is not against eating meat,
it's against eating mammals. (mammabalism)
