The title is misleading here. The article linked to (and the paper it references) is talking about farming octopus specifically, not eating it in general. In fact, the paper specifically states, "Given their exceptional abilities, one might ask whether humans should be eating octopus at all, but here we want to raise a different ethical question."
- john-radio 7y agoIt's not possible for you to eat them without farming them, as a member of society in its current instantiation, so the title holds.
- technothrasher 7y agoHuh? Almost no octopus is currently farmed. The vast majority of it is wild caught.
- dang 7y agoWe changed the title when we changed the url (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20632121 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20632121). Submitted title was "Millions of people eat octopus- why we shouldn't".
