haha, that's just a fun word to use.
Anyways, so I have this friend at work who is I guess flexitarian or pescetarian, whatever you want to call it. We're going to be hanging out so I can teach him to cook tofu and meat substitutes sometime soon, and I guess what I'm wondering is what can I tell him about the evils of the fish industry, or why besides the obvious reason that they are pain-feeling animals he shouldn't eat them. My husband is also at this stage, but not knowing much about this issue myself, I can hardly talk to him about it without him getting offended and thinking I'm being a "typical condescending vegan." I'm sure that these guys know that it's just as immoral to eat this kind of animal as any other, but help me think of cruelty/environmental/industry-related reasons. I don't want to sound "condescending" to them, I juse want them to know that based on their moral concerns with Big Meat, they ought to watch out for fish too, for the same reasons.
