Next explain why you can eat fish when you aren't allowed to eat meat. It was always about money/scarcity/greed

When god flooded the world for 40 days and 40 nights to cleanse it of sin, the fish were entirely unaffected and thus still full of sin. So they deserve to be eatened.

Seriously speaking, does someone have an answer to the land animal meat vs fish thing? I'm curious now

It was originally the Latin word "carnis". They invented the fast from meat specifically to mean giving up the best food of, like, beef and chicken. When translated into English, "meat" was the best word they had to refer to the concept of land animal meat.
