If I eat seafood I rob from ocean species, illegal labor, the hungry poor, and the future. Sometimes, farmland represents the same problem, sometimes not. Seafood is an unsolved problem globally. It has no form of ethical consumption.
- missedthecue 6y agoMost seafood is produced and sold by the hungry poor. You're not doing them any favors by boycotting their goods.

- duhuh 6y agoI don’t believe humans should operate as pure, replicators– doing any action for the chance to continue to exist. Fishing is global and global fishing runs on slave labor. I am doing them a favor. It’s called ethics for a reason. You are presented with 100 things you can eat. Seafood and cocaine are probably the most unethical. Why not skip them?
- defnotashton2 6y agoWhat impact have your decisions had on unsustainable farming practices? I'll wait
- duhuh 6y agoI have lessened the demand by myself and five people I was able to convince. It’s a question of ethics. What ethical stands have you taken? How are they helping?
