I was responding to someone who was talking about them being vegan. The conversation was about vegan options, which fish isn't one of them. Please just stop, you didn't even have a real point to make in the first place.

It doesn't really matter if laws can or can't be changed, the question is whether or not regulations imposing a standard on manufacturers on what kind of connector they put on their phone should exist at all.

Alternatively, we eat as much meat and figure out how to reduce emissions in other ways. Meat production is part of the equation but its focus in these discussions seems largely agenda-based than anything else. It's a convenient scapeg

Fish is meat. But even if it weren't, it's still an animal so it doesn't matter when the discussion is about a vegan who won't eat them, either.

Rapeseed oil has alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which can be converted into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), but the process to convert ALA to EPA/DHA is an inefficient one where only about 5-10% of what goes in
