Not that I necessarily disagree, will be cutting out fish soon too

Easy
One fish, one life, feeds one person. One Cow, one life, feeds 50 people. One prawn cocktail, 50 lives feeds one person. Fish eaters are the worst murderers.

See your point
but how big do you think a cow is?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 13:55, Reply)

About 50 fish

50 people?
You are eating portions of cow that are WAY too small.

It was a random guess based on me thinking a cow has the meat of at least 50 fish
Sorry

50 people seems a reasonable estimate

I say again
you are eating portions of cow that are too small.

The point of this was not to suggest you can't get 50 peoples worth of food off a cow. Of course you can. It was to say that people should eat MOAR cow and ALL OF the cow because it is LOVELY and now you've ruined it with your FACTS.

You would definitely consider my portions of cow to be too small.

You just need to pay attention
to the battery farming of your tofudebeests, tangles.

haha, it's actually an interesting point, fair does.
from a resources point it's quite complicated, I would think.

Fish stocks around the world are generally plummeting.
There's no chance that cows will go extinct. Cod and Salmon...
(PsychoChomp, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 13:46, Reply)

... won't go extinct either.
What with Salmon being farmed, and Cod perfectly farmable if the economics of it change.

Haven't touched cod in over a decade for exactly that reason
nor do I eat tuna, salmon or king prawns, because of how the latter are farmed.

Nonetheless that's not my reasoning. I'm perfectly happy to eat samphire out of season if I can get it.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 13:57, Reply)

You don't eat tuna because of how king prawns are farmed?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 14:00, Reply)

No, I don't eat king prawns because of how king prawns are farmed
You fucking retard.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 14:01, Reply)

erm, what's wrong with how king prawns are farmed?
are you seriously concerned about cruelty to crustaceans?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 14:03, Reply)

No, it's about the flooding of the farmland around the areas they're fished from
Basically the farming of king prawns is disastrous for local ecology

Pretty sure Tesco isn't flooded
I mean I ain't been there since Tuesday but it was alright then

what, as opposed to the unliateral destuction of forest and grassland habitats
for intensive crop farming? Yeah, vegetables are well ecosafe.

I live in Norfolk FFS
How far from home do you think I have to go to get my vegetables? They're basically handing them out on street corners

i see, blind to the suffering of vegetables because of nimbyism, is it?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 14:12, Reply)

Hang on
You're having a pop at me for buying local? What do you expect me to do about the unethical farming methods used to harvest fruit and veg I don't buy, apart from being a member of Avaaz, giving to Greenpeace, supporting Fairtrade, all of which I also do?

I think it should be pretty obvious that since I said "suffering of vegetables"
I'm taking the piss and not having a pop at anyone, mate.

Have a pint and a crafty wank, eh? it's been a long week.

Cod is actually now more sustainable than a lot of other fish.
Haddock is struggling, cod was a no go fish for long enough to bounce back.

It's interesting, the aquaculture guys I work with
would farm it if it was in decline, because it makes it valuable enough to bother, but since it isn't, they don't. A kind of self-balancing state of play.
