I know you only wanted what's best for Kate and that you were concerned about her. In my own experience, vegetarians and vegans get attacked (or questioned, or harrassed, etc) about their diet choices all the time. It's pretty easy to get pretty defensive and tired of the questioning. Particularly since many vegetarians find it morally reprehensible to eat meat or fish.
I know that people wouldn't like it if I, as a vegetarian, constantly questioned them about their diet, and so I generally leave people alone to eat what they wish, regardless of how I feel about it. However, I would take offense if someone told me I was depriving myself, or doing something wrong, by not eating fish (an act I find barbaric and disgusting).
It's hard to bite my tongue, living in a world of meat eaters, so I wish they would do the same for me.
Anyway, I was just trying to explain why what you said could come across wrong, and not to stir things up again or get involved. Like I said, I'm sure you had the best of intentions.
