Farmed salmon are now being fed chicken - and it might actually be better than the status quo (www.thejournal.ie)

Now, increased demand for traditional fishmeal – which is made from small species caught in the open ocean – has sent the industry scrambling for alternatives.

The stuff being used to make fish feed is a byproduct of the poultry industry – it’s what is left over after the parts of the chicken consumed by humans and the remains used for cat and dog food have been removed.

???

Do people actually believe this shit?

Do people think you'll die if you become vegetarian or vegan? That you'll rely on supplements? That you can't get in shape or gain muscle?

Man, people are fucking dumb as shit.

Being vegetarian and getting protein is fucking easy. Being vegan and getting protein is also not really as difficult as people tell you. There are bodybuilders that are fully vegan.

Every vegetarian and vegan I've met is healthier on average, and a guy I knew that ate fish he caught died of a parasite, so, like, if we're going off of anecdotal evidence, there's also that.

You are just objectively less healthy if you don't have a well rounded diet that includes lean meat.

Period. The science is there..

You shouldn't eat lots of meat but some is very beneficial

The science says that a little bit of meat is fine, just like a little bit of anything is fine. It doesn't say that no meat is less healthy, and usually says that no meat is, in fact, healthier. I'd even guess that whatever amount you eat is more than the amount that is recommended, especially if you are bragging about eating fish you caught. You could easily get mercury poisoning that way. See that concern trolling?

We're fucking omnivores. That means we can survive eating just about anything. You think we have to eat meat to live?
