   I often find it exhausting having to explain why I'm a vegetarian because, for me, there is no single reason. Animal welfare, the evils of factory farming, climate change, personal health, it's also just cheaper. Take your pick, really...and then everyone says, what about fish?

      I mean we often treat it like if any creatures are not within our moral community then it's got to be seafood, and they aren't (typically) raised in abominable factory farms, have minimal GHG emissions, and aren't fish supposed to be especially healthy? Omega-3s or something?

      Buuut collectively the world is fishing all major stocks to extinction. So....

         I mean especially here, in the middle of the continent, I'm guessing the mystery seafood in the fish sticks you bought at superstore are probably not the most sustainable.

         But I also try not to impose my dietary choices on others so you do you.
