I didn't say you CAN'T eat goldfish, but that people DON'T. That IS what you said, because you remarked that people don't like carp because of its taste. Besides, I was referring to the small in-tank goldfish, not the larger breed of carp.

And really, a person who eats fish as well as keeps them as pets isn't any different from a person who keeps birds and eats poultry. Is that hypocritical? I am sure you'll say it is to be consistent, but it's a matter of subspecies being raised for a particular purpose, which clearly changes dependent on where one lives.
