"Nutritionally, it is far more efficient than meat"
TIL Fish is not meat...
Whoever said that must be Catholic.
At one time both capybaras and puffins were classified as fish by the church to allow their consumption on all days. They were just too convenient to ignore.
That's a very convoluted way to make people vegetarians
:(
The thought of eating a capy just feels so wrong.
Beavers as well.
Amen.
Is it not common in most places to differentiate land animals (meat) from sea animals (fish)? I get your point that there's no real distinction to make philosophically, but it's customary and most people understand it?
No? The only times I've seen fish treated as somehow not meat is for religious reasons. Generally you'd categorize the meat by the type of animal, such as beef, pork, chicken/poultry, or the broad categories like fish or shellfish.
Maybe it just depends on if you live someplace that's very religious or not?

I think going to the restaurant located inside my local church was a mistake
Lol, you say that, but catholic churches are very much known for their fish fry fridays in my area.
Is their halibut good enough for Jehovah?
Sister Celestine, I told you to we needed to order more HABITS, now what are we gonna do with all this fish?
I've definitely seen and heard the phrase "meat or fish" used where I live. I doubt it's just a Finnish thing
I dunno, I just assumed that anything that bleeds when you kill it is meat.
A lot of people make the distinction that red meat, mammals, are more intelligent, more aware of pain, more develop neurologically, than fish
WTF I want to kill a crab for scientific purposes now
We bleed horseshoe crabs for the medicinal properties of their blood.
You do you, my friend. My family and I prefer to spend our free time reading a good book or baking cookies.
I eat all the meat. It's delicious. I just wanted to share what it's called when you eat fish but no other meat.
I once met a vegetarian when i was only 8 and wasn't even sure what that was. She explained that she doesn't eat meat, just fish and chicken. Instead of just asking a real adult, i made shit up in my brain like: fjsh aren't meat and neither are chickens, because their meat is white or some shit.
is there not a term for that? What do you call someone who chooses not to eat red meat? (Not for religious or cultural reasons)
Healthy, haha
My FIL is going through some medical issues and considered going mostly vegetarian to try and reverse the (irreversible) organ damage he was told he had. His plan was just fish, eggs and poultry, with red meat just once or twice a week.
I’m not often speechless.
answer: China is trying to empty the oceans and it doesn't give a fuck
It's not just China. Pretty much every country is over fishing.
China must be lying about its aquaculture output, otherwise why are they fishing the oceans clean?
Time to start sinking fishing vessels.
As long as we also carpet bomb meat and feed farms since the environmental impact of beef is much larger
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article
I read that infographic passing for an article.
The environmental effect of beef is much higher than that of fish.
Much harder to do that without getting caught by governments. Sinking fishing boats in international waters seems comparatively safer.
Hell yeah pirate shit
What about the people onboard?
This article has impeccable graphics and UX design. Its almost a documentary that I can scroll through.
This article has impeccable [...] UX design.
It's stupidly frustrating. I want to read the fucking article... Not scroll for 2 hours to get to the next paragraph.
This is how I feel about these sort of multimedia articles too. Give me a "text only" button, at least
I really disliked how they showed heavily pivoted globe instead of a map to show china’s activities. They went for maximum style points and didn’t care about my ability to read and interpret the data.
cut to a very fat cat
I-I d-don't know but I'm looking far and wide for whoever did this
Scooter, because they're asking for its price for years.

Nice to see that vampires have their own stackoverflow. Thanks for the answer anyway
Even to his day, I still meet "vegetarians" who eat fish. Usually boomer age.

Not a vegetarian imo

The chase is better than the catch.
Other fish
I AM
Same. Every other day of the week.
Not me. I hate fish. I’m also bad at math.
