Can’t I Be Pescatarian Instead?

Being pescatarian is the step many people take when they want to be vegetarian or vegan but aren’t down with giving up all animal flesh. It may seem like a less-harmful middle ground, but the seafood industry is destroying our oceans, and I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but it’s pretty much why the seahorse is almost extinct. I urge you to research further—and while you’re at it, try some of the replacements in this chapter. Chances are you won’t miss seafood at all!
