Chefs know that fish who die with great resistance, struggling
against the net or the hook and line, have a more bitter taste because of
the lactic acid that remains in their muscles. In eating fish, we eat the
lactic acid the fish produce in their death throes, and the fear-induced
adrenalin and other hormones. We can all get ample high-quality protein from
plant sources without causing unnecessary misery and trauma to other living
creatures.

Fish absorb and intensely concentrate toxins like PCBs, dioxins,
radioactive substances, and heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and
arsenic, all of which are linked to cancer as well as nervous system
disorders, kidney damage, and impaired mental functioning. They contain
excessive amounts of cholesterol, animal protein, and hazardous,
blood-altering oils. Besides contributing directly to human disease and
suffering through the toxicity of its products, the seafood industry causes
enormous damage to marine ecosystems throughout the world.
