Meat production is one of the most environmentally damaging systems in general
Eating animals that were raised to be killed* isn't that much better
+they are not only dying at the end, but also suffer mentally their whole lives

However you put it, it comes out wrong. The problem is actually overpopulation and that’s it. Too many mouth to feed.

I stopped eating all meat and fish as a kid cause it made me sad  but my metabolism is too fast so I lose weight faster than I gain it, meaning as a woman at 5”10, I’m a size 00 to 0. I’m not critically underweight, but it’s not exactly healthy. My doctors said I needed some form of protein and it was either meat or fish. And I can’t eat something when I see animals on land everyday. I struggle with fish, but I don’t see them as much as I see land animals so it makes it easier, if that makes sense? Also fish aren’t usually held and bred in captivity just to die like animals are, so I don’t feel as guilty. So I hope to stop again some day, but I physically can’t stop eating fish atm 

Kudos to all those that do though

yeah, they are just choking to death and being crushed by the weight of one another while experiencing terror and extremal pain from being outside of the water

but anyway, hope you'll get a good diet one day
protein is not that hard to find in plant based food and if someone tells you that you need omegas from fish, which is very common to happen, look up algae oil.

Hnsnsnsns don’t make me feel worse 

I’ve been trying, but because of the rate of my metabolism, I’d have to eat ridiculous amounts and I can’t do that lmao. I only really eat fish when necessary. I do everything I can do avoid eating any animal full stop, including fish, but my weight and stuff dip rapidly sometimes, and it’s the only option I have

Your health matters more than fish. If it keeps you healthy don't feel bad about it. 

And I say that as someone that doesn't eat fish and keeps them as pets.

The smell of fish and seafood makes me want to get sick every time. So I’m already on the right side of history with this one!

LMAO no it is NOT overpopulation no matter how you spin it.

60% of food produced is wasted. Restaurants and supermarkets discard unsold foods because they dont want to depreciate their products, rather than giving it to the hungry and poor.

Overpopulation is the illusion of unequal distribution of resources between cities and rural areas, between the rich and the poor. 

The overpopulated areas are cities because elsewhere, there's no development, or has been ruined by industrialization like mining and manufacturing pollution, so people naturally move to places where the drinking water or the air dont kill them, or because they need jobs to feed themselves, and there are none in the countryside. The rich minority are using and wasting sooo much more resource than the majority middle and working classes. 

The sooner we realize that this is not the result of people reproducing but of the extremely broken economic system that creates vanity and wastes life-giving resources on one group and at the same time deny other groups of those resources, the better.

I will never stop eating fish or meat completely but I am drastically changing my habits over the last years. My parents generation think they have to eat meat or fish every single day as part of a healthy balanced diet. We need to stop learning these bad habits and lies to others. I eat a around two meals per week that contain fish and one meal per week that contains meat. This works perfect for me but obviously wont work for others. Depending on your lifestyle and what your body needs you need to find what will work for you. Just asking the entire world population to stop eating meat and fish or stop making children wont work. The real question we should all ask ourselves is do you need ten meals a week containing meat/fish and do you really need 4 or 5 children (what about 2 or 3 children instead) ?

Man I’d love to see someone go to a third world country and tell everyone there that eating fish is evil. Please do.  And please record the public’s reaction too.

I’m shocked by this documentary gheys, the fact that so many dolphins, whales and sharks are killed by fishermen just for tuna and other smaller fish. I’m now going to stop eating fish and y’all should too for a change 

And y’all better watch the documentary and stop eating fish and using plastic 

 

Pretending to defend the life of animals by being a speciesist. 

[flyaway 15,350]

So basically we can't eat anything... So are we supposed to become forced vegans at some point? 

[Guest]

Just watched this the other night, I haven’t had fish in forever but now I’m just gonna keep that streak going. It’s horrible what we’re doing to our oceans.

It is a problem on both sides. Even if we find a way that the economy works hand by hand with the environment, at one point an increase of the population will make the whole thing unsustainable. We live in a finite planet with limited ressources. Naturally, there is a way to keep  the number of species balanced, so that the system won't collapse. But we escaped that natural process. 

But now we are too many people on this planet. It's up to us to find ways to keep it sustainable.

What does this have to do with anything? It doesn’t invalidate the fact that by eating fish we are literally destroying our oceans? If you watched the documentary you’d see just how bad it actually is. We’re destroying parts of the food chain, people are being lured onto boats & then kept as slaves for YEARS, there were interviews of guys that were enslaved for 6-10 years, being thrown off the boats to die when refusing to work or if they get sick. I’m pretty sure if you went to a poor village you’d see that they’re most likely negatively affected by fishing (also in the documentary, companies are illegally fishing in other waters where these poor communities usually get their food but are now barren wastelands) so your point really has no basis in reality.

Another sensationalist documentary trying to place the blame of environmental damage on individuals rather than the real villains of environmental damage: big wig corporations. They are the ones who have contributed irreversible damage to the Earth for the last century.  Looking forward to the usual suspects coming in and calling all of us vile monsters because we enjoy meat. Buckle up, ladies

Nope, all wrong.. The documentary puts the blame almost completely on corporations and governments. It explains that we have all been lied to, that plastic straws are a distraction tactic etc etc.

It argues that the only thing we can do as individual (because governments and corporations do not care and haven't thus far responded) is to to stop/reduce your own intake of fish. That's not sensationalism.

[Lampost 731]

This was so eye opening and shocking. The level of corruption & lies that have been told to us over the years by companies/governments/charities is gross. 

Fish is a big part of my families diet so it's hard to escape completely but I used to eat fish twice a week, I'm going to take that down to once a month now. So, if anyone else is turned off by the idea of having to give up fish, remember that just reducing your intake helps. The less money we all give these big corporations, the less they'll plunder the seas and it will help them to realise that caring for our oceans is what we as a planet need. The only thing that will make them listen is money.
