FTA:

“Nutritionally, it is far more efficient than meat”

TIL Fish is not meat…

Whoever said that must be Catholic.

Amen.

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

Only during Lent.

The thought of eating a capy just feels so wrong.

drolex@sopuli.xyz on 13 Nov 2023 13:52 next collapse

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?

jordanlund@lemmy.world on 13 Nov 2023 14:37 next collapse

I dunno, I just assumed that anything that bleeds when you kill it is meat.

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.

AA5B@lemmy.world on 13 Nov 2023 19:40 collapse

A lot of people make the distinction that red meat, mammals, are more intelligent, more aware of pain, more develop neurologically, than fish

orclev@lemmy.world on 13 Nov 2023 14:44 collapse

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?

Lol, you say that, but catholic churches are very much known for their fish fry fridays in my area.

I’ve definitely seen and heard the phrase “meat or fish” used where I live. I doubt it’s just a Finnish thing

Even to his day, I still meet “vegetarians” who eat fish. Usually boomer age.

BruceTwarzen@kbin.social on 13 Nov 2023 15:34 next collapse

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.

AA5B@lemmy.world on 13 Nov 2023 19:38 collapse

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)

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.

This article has impeccable graphics and UX design. Its almost a documentary that I can scroll through.

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.

China must be lying about its aquaculture output, otherwise why are they fishing the oceans clean?

Time to start sinking fishing vessels.

Zehzin@lemmy.world on 13 Nov 2023 15:51 collapse

As long as we also carpet bomb meat and feed farms since the environmental impact of beef is much larger

Bye@lemmy.world on 13 Nov 2023 15:54 next collapse

Much harder to do that without getting caught by governments. Sinking fishing boats in international waters seems comparatively safer.

The environmental effect of beef is much higher than that of fish.

It’s not just China. Pretty much every country is over fishing.

An entire article asking “why are there no fish?” And never mentions climate change, polluted waters, and human overpopulation.

What a joke.
