People here are talking about fishes as our food source but what about fishes as a food source for other aquatic life? Or other animals that feed on those marine life? The effects can be far reaching. So the implication of a fish dying from plastic is a bit more complicated than what OP’s making it out to be
We can avoid eating animals though
Strawman.
What people are justifiably concerned about is pollution causing death and disease. Fuck off with this hYpOcRiSy bullshit
Fuck off with this hYpOcRiSy bullshit
I don’t even find it hypocritical… I’d be sad too if I couldn’t eat the fish… It could have at least died to fit in my belly rather than just dying for no good reason.
Or some other creature that eats fish. Every death in nature should benefit someone, ideally. 😕 Us or other animals.
Guarantee the person who made this is a vegan.
You’d hope so, the more the better for the planet
You’d think so, until you hear the rebuttals to this that never ever get brought up by the media.
What are some of these “rebuttals”?
For example that producing and shipping the pure amount of mass corresponding to the same amount of nutrition in vegan foods vs dairy/meat products is not sustainable, because plant based foods contain so much less nutrition than animal products. You have to level and destroy forest habitats to grow all these things for 10,000,000,000 people… That’s an infant amount of plants.
And a lot of foods that claim to be “good sources of protein” don’t really… contain much else, like meat does. Some are even harmful in large quantities like too much soy in your diet, especially to children.
I dunno, these are things I’ve been told. Just the messenger so take with a grain of salt. But I thought they were interesting points that shouldn’t be ignored and should be disproven before dismissed. I just have too much going on in my life to worry about researching it right now. 😓 But one day maybe!
What do you think? I think this topic is definitely more complicated than “let’s fix/save the world by going vegan”.
Personally… I’d be much more worried about native animal populations if meat is banned. Eg… take away steak at the supermarket, and you might find that people will just start hunting a lot more.
And somehow I feel like hunting is better, right? A lot more effort, but better meat, and it could be more of a business than now.
But I can’t even fathom the consequences/ramifications of game-only meat in society. You’re thinking of extinction levels, I assume.
Dredging nets over the sea bottom, destroying all underwater habitats to squeeze 5% more fish out of the ocean: I sleep
