First, the salmon and tuna fisheries are not sustainable. The bluefin tuna was on IUCN endangered list before it got controversially taken off the list in 2021 due to lobby from the fishing industry. Most salmon and tuna are “farmed” aquaculture. These aquaculture have really high environmental impact, as they dump a lot of toxic waste and antibiotics into ocean. They are also breeding ground for diseases that impact natural wild salmon and tuna population. Finally, they have adverse affects on traditional low impact, and often Native-owned fisheries.
Sushi is also incredibly BORING. It’s just raw fish on rice with no seasonings except for soy sauce and wasabi. All these environmental waste and destruction for a texture. Go eat some stir fry vegetables, tofu, and beans with actual seasonings. The non-boring sushi are all abominations of mayonaise, sweet soy sauce, and ultraprocessed fish paste like surimi made to cater to western burgereich palate. Vegetarian and vegan sushi options suck, they are just raw cucumbers and avocado on rice with these same abominations of mayonaise and ultraprocessed condiments. Non-japanese people who unironically enjoy sushi are all be pretentious, annoying shitlib, search your feelings Luke you know it’s true. Learn to cook real warm food with proper seasonings like actual humans, or at least appreciate food that takes actual artisanal skills to make like hand made dumplings and noodles. I’ve had enough of seeing people eat sushi, all these people should be shamed. Walahi when the proletarian Revolution came, we should issue a fatwa to make eating raw fish haram.
Like climate catastrophe? Hmm, good thing animal agriculture isn’t related to that.
Or maybe imperialism? The imposition of industrialized animal agriculture for export forced on the Global South by the imperial core can’t be important to that obviously.
The next inevitable pandemic? Animal agriculture definitely doesn’t play a part in the spread of infectious disease and increase the chances developing the next major virus to plague us.
Alienation of humans from nature and from each other? Nahh, no way that systems of violence and exploitation can be interlinked, they’re just animals after all, and that has no bearing on how we ignore the treatment of people or create hierarchies of care where those deemed subhuman can be entered into the beast category. No sirree, no history of colonialism treating people as animals.
On this note, salmon in sushi is the result of a massive marketing campaign by the Norwegian fishing industry. It’s not indigenous to Japan whatsoever
