Now, increased demand for traditional fishmeal – which is made from small species caught in the open ocean – has sent the industry scrambling for alternatives.

The stuff being used to make fish feed is a byproduct of the poultry industry – it’s what is left over after the parts of the chicken consumed by humans and the remains used for cat and dog food have been removed.

    The science says that a little bit of meat is fine, just like a little bit of anything is fine. It doesn’t say that no meat is less healthy, and usually says that no meat is, in fact, healthier. I’d even guess that whatever amount you eat is more than the amount that is recommended, especially if you are bragging about eating fish you caught. You could easily get mercury poisoning that way. See that concern trolling?

    We’re fucking omnivores. That means we can survive eating just about anything. You think we have to eat meat to live?

      The guy your arguing with’s name is “Truth_Hurts” and their account was created like 2 weeks ago. All of their recent comment history is arguments, they even have a ton of comments that were removed by a mod I think. Just give it a rest with that guy, they clearly won’t even back up their claims with the bullshit they’re spewing.

        It’s not him I’m arguing for. It’s everyone else that might not realize how fucking dumb he is and needs someone to call him out.

          So don’t address it to him. Honestly, if you want to correct things he’s saying, just do so like you’re correcting a 20-year old newspaper article. You don’t need to converse with trolls to correct the record.

        So, uh, what about my ex-gf vegan marathon runner? Can you run 5 miles a day, every single day?

        I know anecdotes aren’t evidence, but if you want to come off like, “this is a universal truth”, then I can rebut that.
