Eat Fish

Craig Ferguson recently said “I’ve always had this thought that fish eat fish therefore it’s okay to eat them, because they do it to themselves.” (LLS Ep808).  I think there’s a lot of wisdom to that observation.  I will admit I’m bias though, because I’ve always subscribed to an idea that fish would be the meat of the perfect world.
Now do some lateral thinking as you consider the idea of a Marxist world. Not communism or any kind of actual government, but everyone is on the same page on everything.  I know this is impossible, because anyone who reads this can find a perfectly good example of something they couldn’t do or give up for their individuality and or pride.  I certainly couldn’t be perfect enough for a perfect world.  But at least consider a world where everyone is on the same page enough to work together for mutual sustenance, productivity, and reward.  For some unbelievable reason, everyone miraculously cares about each and every fellow human being, as if they were kin.
The surface of Earth is 70% water.  Untainted fish is lean protein, and contains an intense assortment of healthy nutrients.  Now if everyone in this crazy world all worked together to build filtering systems to purify sections of water large enough to live off the fish, it would be incredibly easy for them to sustain large healthy populations.  Of course they’ll need potatoes too, but those are easy enough to grow.
So even if it seems impossible for us all to live off fish, doesn’t it just make sense to embrace fish as food?  The human race should work to make our fish resource healthier and more abundant.  Because we’d all be better for it.
I personally haven’t done anything about it yet.
