      less garbage isn’t created regardless of whether you or I buy fish

        An individual abstaining from owning slaves didn’t reduce slave populations either. Think they were as dumb and ineffectual as I am? Fine.

          so you are moving the goalposts from efficacy to ethics. that’s fine, but I don’t believe eating fish is unethical.

              I don’t think eating fish is cruel, nor inherently harmful to the planet. the methods of fishing that have developed, and the scale of modern fishing are problems, but for me to choose to abstain from fish would not mitigate the situation.
