hypocrite.

Strawman.

What people are justifiably concerned about is pollution causing death and disease. Fuck off with this hYpOcRiSy bullshit

I know it's a meme, but is anyone actually sad for the fish? I thought we were terrified about what was happening to our food. If someone autopsied a downed cow and a bunch of toxic plastic shit spilled from their stomachs, we aren't thinking "poor cow ate all that plastic and died." We're worried about our food supply.

If a fish die of plastic, you probably eat plastic while eating fish

We're not just eating tons per day, we're eating about 430-ish metric kilotons per day.

Maybe the latter has something to do with the former. Fish die from plastic; no fish to eat.

Dredging nets over the sea bottom, destroying all underwater habitats to squeeze 5% more fish out of the ocean: I sleep

Cute turtle with its leg stuck in a six-pack ring: real shit

I <3 the micro plastics in my body ✨️✨️

People here are talking about fishes as our food source but what about fishes as a food source for other aquatic life? Or other animals that feed on those marine life? The effects can be far reaching. So the implication of a fish dying from plastic is a bit more complicated than what OP's making it out to be

Any fish that dies from plastic is dying from a method that isn't me eating it. Also, there's lots of fish I don't eat that I'm not cool with dying to plastic. I really like the ocean plants that make all the oxygen I breath too.

It's weird. I don't like most fish, but I really don't have an ethical problem in general with eating fish as long as they were harvested sustainably. Unfortunately, most of the saltwater fish I have enjoyed over the years- shark and swordfish steak, cod, tuna- are not harvested sustainably, so I don't eat them. That pretty much leaves me with farmed trout and catfish, the only two other fish I like. And I just don't feel like it's the same as eating a cow or a chicken. Maybe I don't have any actual scientific basis to go on, but fish are just so different from us and so much more primitive that it just doesn't bother me.

Comments have been locked due to toxicity. Sorry op.

Thats why I'm a pesca-pescatarian, I only eat fish that eat other fish. (joke stolen from Silicon Valley)

Lol.

I love sushi. I'm going to have all you can eat next week and I'm gonna eat so much I shit myself. It's gonna be fucking awesome.
