It might be said that humans and animals live on floating islands on a watery globe. The fact that the oceans cover more than two-thirds of the earth indicates they have important roles to play in the success of our planet. The prevailing opinion is that the oceans were meant to provide us fish for food or maybe, based on our actions, a global toilet for waste.
If we were leaning towards “fish for food” consider that fish contains twice the fat of our needs, twice the cholesterol as beef (100 percent more than what we need), three times the protein we require, breeds bacteria the day it is caught, absorbs nine million times the level of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in which fish swim, and contain no fiber, no complex carbohydrates, no phytochemicals, and few antioxidants—the core elements of our diet. And a virtual waste dumping ground? If we were living our lives the way nature intended, in theory, there should be no waste. And if She did intend it, then there should be a large handle near by to flush the ocean and fill it back up with clean water.
If the oceans weren’t meant to produce fish for our consumption then what the hell are they for, you impatiently ask. This Veg Report may give us some insight.
