That logic doesn't hold up. One should look at overall trends, not outliers.
- throwaway4736 2y agoThat line jumped out at me too. It makes no sense and only serves to confirm a conclusion he had already made.
- Isamu 2y ago>That logic doesn't hold up I agree in a narrow sense, because he talks about “production” and it sounds like he is trying to take the position that it’s all fine in general, across the industry, because you can find responsible suppliers. But I think he only wants to make the limited point that it’s morally acceptable to use responsible suppliers, regardless of whether there’s bad ones. But yeah he’s misstating his intention.
- FinnLobsien 2y agoYeah, that logic doesn't work. I guess the point is that you shouldn't categorically judge its production because of the worst examples, which I guess applies to any meat/fish production. But to say we should "judge it by the best examples" is totally wrong, especially when the worst examples are worse than the worst examples of producing other types of meat.
