I found an interesting article (the link) that pescatarianism is not a superior solution to the meat eating problem. What are your thoughts?

I think this article is conflating all fish and measuring them against a specific type of land animals.
Just like on land, there’s a big difference in sustainability depending on the type of fish you are consuming. Measuring a salmon vs chicken isn’t really an academically honest measurement. When looking at salmon, which takes a long time to mature. We should be comparing it to something more like beef, which also takes more time and resources to manage.
When comparing something like a chicken which takes a relatively low amount of time and resources to produce. We should be comparing it to something unlike Mackerel, which are significantly more sustainable and less resource intensive compared to salmon.
Good point.
To each their own. I know a couple of pescatarians and neither one of them shared an opinion about my diet uninvited so I have no problem with them.
I’ve never met one IRL or online. All I know is they eat fish and not other meat and I once read it was because they equate fish to being the same as insects and don’t feel pain.
I don’t know if they actually believe that but that idea is certainly some BS.
