This doc isn't great. Google the controversy surrounding it and many of the people interviewed don't like how the doc presented them. I'm talking about the NGOs that have been fighting for the ocean for decades. Seasperacy is really a veiled ploy to try and argue that sustainable fishing is impossible and not consuming fish is the only viable method of protecting the ocean.
But sustainable fishing by definition IS IMPOSSIBLE and not consuming fish IS the only way to protect the ocean. How hard is it to understand that we literally have full fuckin research papers documenting what we've done to the ocean with fishing and our consumption. The more the population grows, the more people need to be fed, if we stopped eating animals (aka stopped breeding them forcefully into existence to murder them) and just ate plant based diets using the land currently used to make mass amounts of animal feed, we would do so much good for the survival of this planet. I'm sick and tired of people who ARE perfectly capable of surviving and thriving on a plant based diet making every fucking excuse in the world as to why "meat taste gud tho" or "what about this vitamin?" DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH AND SEE THAT ITS POSSIBLE AND YOU WONT SHRIVEL UP AND DIE. Fuck. Your life isn't worth more than the other animals on it and if you think so, then I hope you enjoy when the planet lights on fire for your future family down the line for what we've done to it.
Are you ignoring the large percentage of the world's population which relies on seafood for the majority of the protein in their diet?
If you are trying to pursuade Westerners to change up their diets and eat less (or no) meat and fish: I applaud you. But, if you are suggesting that the whole world just stops fishing and those that rely on it as a major part of their diet because they can't afford anything else: then I think you are mistaken.
I said that those WHO ARE capable, should change their diet, which means the only people who fit in the categories of not being able to are people with literally no supermarket access at all or those who are somehow medically not able to eat anything else (this far there is no medical reason to not be able to eat planet based". Beans, legumes, rice, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, etc are possibly some of the cheapest foods on the entire planet, so cost is not an argument. Meat costs more than plant foods and that's even after the meat industry has been handed massive subsidies. So basically, 95% of the world population has absolutely no excuse to not eat plant based. The other 5% wouldn't have to worry about their consumption if the 95% wasn't needlessly consuming how they do.
