Pescatarians Should Give Up Eating Fish but Not Give Up Entirely

A pescatarian is someone who eats a diet free of eating animals, with the exception of fish and aquatic invertebrates. The average pescetarian might be thought of as a smart, informed, health-conscious individual whose work is not over yet. The justification for pescatarians is weak. Here we look at the common arguments made for continuing to eat fish and aquatic invertebrates, and note how few of them hold water. We also provide reasons for not giving up when it comes to the hard choices about what to eat, but continuing to be considerate of our individual diets. Finally, for those who perceive eliminating aquatic animals from their diet as impossible, we present the next possible step: bivalvetarianism.
