I am not sure where I should put this. Mods, feel free to move it if it is necessary.

Also, I think the title of the story is completely knee-jerk and misleading. To imply that any fish is as "bad as bacon" is a laugh.
It has been proposed that agriculture is humanity's single biggest insult to the world.
Timothy, I totally agreed with you on your first post but the second one almost sounded like Chinese propaganda, where they allow only one child per family.
This planet can handle lot more people only if the people would start growing food instead of poppy fields to produce heroin. Build tractors instead of fighting religious wars in the name of their religion. The list can go on. I wish I had 10 kids.
I agree with you completely. Not only does the saying "you are what you eat" apply, but you are also a product of the food that your food has eaten. That means that in this country we are mostly made of corn, since that is what's fed to most of the farmed animals we consume.The fact of the matter is so simple. Whether you believe in nature, or a supreme being, foods that are as close to their original, wild state, are superior to foods that have been changed by people, even to the point of what they are fed. Cows that are grass fed on natural grassy fields taste better, are healthier as animals, and are more nutritionally sound than are cows fed on corn. Real free-range chickens 9the one that get to eat insects, wild grains, worms, etc) taste better, are healthier, and are more nutrition than are caged chickens, again because of diet and exercise. And so it is with fish, pigs, and any other animal we consume.
Not a problem.
But think about it. How many kids does average American family have today? We are not overusing the land because we have so many people to feed. We are overusing the land because we are over eating. Before I came to America the 1/8 of a chicken and a cup of rice was a great dinner. Today I can eat this for a snack before the dinner or maybe after.
