I want to become a pescatarian. Is mercury poisoning just a meme

>>8345213
Pretty much a meme, the amounts we're talking is trace. Might be an issue if you're looking to have a babby.

>I want to become a pescatarian
Why though?

Go fit

Go fun

Go happy

Go vegan

Pescatarian here. Only eat it about 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes less. Not a big deal.

Dude, seriously? Of course it's not just a meme. Anyone eating sushi and shit every day will develop severe neurological symptoms. Google Richard Gelfond, CEO of IMax, who permanently fucked himself eating fish every day like 5 years ago. There were some good articles about his gradual decline, visiting experts trying to figure out the problem, until finally a doctor asked him about his diet, and learned he was eating fish daily. That's a smart guy, buying good quality fish, seeing good docs, and he still suffered permanent impairment. Those intake guidelines aren't just overly cautious scare tactics, like "don't do drugs".

this only happens if you have mercury fillings or eat exclusively high ranking predator sea fish

river fish, farmed fish, most short life fish in general will have minimal mercury or accumulated toxins in general

It is totally dependent on your location, fish you are eating, etc.

To dismiss it outright means you are an uneducated retard. Congrats, you dumb brah.

Just eat sardines

you might need to worry about it if you eat fish/seafood every day, which is a dumb idea,

>>8345375

I ate a tuna sandwich every day when I was a kid and now I'm stupid.

>>8345375
I eat a can of tuna daily, am i fucked

>>8345213
Don't eat tuna all day every day and it probably won't kill you.

I tried being a pescatarian and gave up after 4 months from the cost of food. If I lived closer to the ocean I would probably consider it again, I felt better.

It's far and away from vegan.
It just doesn't eat land meat.
It's usually done nutritionally rather than ethically.

Even if it is ethic, that's great too.
Fuck the Oceans. Fuck everything that lives in the Ocean. Abominations the lot of them.
Nuke the Oceans.
