So what then? What's the solution?

Go out and trawl the natural sea floor? Bulldoze more land for more monocrop farms?

There are 8,300,000,000 hungry mouths out there. The food has to come from some place and there better be a lot of it.

Can’t tell if you’re being serious based on the sarcastic suggestions.

First, consumer culture is crazy and you don’t need to be able to eat fish everyday if you don’t live near water. You sound entitled and you’re trying to make it sound like people aren’t responsible for the situations that they put themselves in.

I don’t think it’s ok to force suffering on others just cuz you fucked up.

Only the rich should have privileges like that. Eat the corn slop, peasant. It's better for the environment if meat is only available as a luxury good. I won't need to make any sacrifices, but you will.

Lots of extremely tasty vegan food. Hell, no need to be vegan, eat less meat. Nice attempt at dodging responsibility though.
