          The population of Australia has grown significantly since colonisation.

          Unfortunately the ocean doesn't contain an infinite supply of fish, and over-fishing is a real concern since humans are able to improve techniques used for catching fish, while the fish don't reproduce and mature any faster.

          There are also issues with ghost nets which are often cast off from illegal fishing vessels.

          If you're concerned about your carbon footprint, then ocean acidification and may also be a concern.

          Add this all up and you can see how fish are living in a more hostile environment than they were even 100 years ago, and the trend doesn't appear to be reversing any time soon.

              @PAPower: You don't really need historical data going back 40-50,000 years. The absolute quantity of seafood consumed over two extremely different time periods isn't really relevant, what needs to be examined is the rate of depletion. Fish aren't reproducing and maturing any faster, and we're catching far more, far faster. This is well documented, not just in Australia, but around the world. If you're familiar with "the tragedy of the commons" I'd invite you to consider that in the context of unregulated fishing in a globalised capitalist world.

              The fishing industry in Australia has also made many billions of dollars in that timeframe.

              I'd appreciate if you could provide any evidence at all regarding your statement " this bullshit gov. is said to be heavily funded by the cattle industry and keep toughening regulations on fishing".

                  @PAPower: Many bag limits and catch sizes were determined a long time ago in an arbitrary manner due to some people raping and pillaging the waterways of Australia and fish stocks declining. There definitely could be a review of bag limits and fish sizes to make them more in line with what the science says, but that doesn't mean the rules are utter crap.

                  There are some fishermen out there (I guess you'd be one) that just want scoop up as much as they can get and to hell with anyone else. It's this sort of greed that depletes fish stocks. Take what need within the prescribed limits and leave some for someone else.

                  @PAPower: Lmao as someone who works in waterways management let me explain some of these rules and what might be behind them. It's astonishing that people just question stuff without any reason other than "it feels wrong and silly".

                  Snapper can only be caught after 12.30pm. Why is it not 1pm or 1.30pm ?

                  I have no idea. It's likely something to do with which snapper is active early in the morning. Perhaps young snapper are active in the morning and catching them would impact on the growth of the species? Perhaps the morning is when something to do with mating or egg laying occurs? Perhaps the morning is when most fishers are out so preventing morning catches is simpler than making a specific rule of quantity or size.

                  Minimum size for a blue swimmer is 11 cm. Why is it not 12 or 10.5 cm ?

                  Because a fisheries scientist and public servant determined that this was the best way to mitigate risk to the species. Think it through, again it's likely to do with not catching young fish that need to grow and reach reproductive size etc

                  Murray cod can be caught in Murray river in SA but not VIC. What the hell ?

                  It's probably again due to breeding. Fish move up the system to breed in flood events. Most of the SA murray isn't breeding ground as far as I know. It's safer to let fishers catch in SA as they are less likely to catch fish while they are in a breeding phase. Murray cod are endangered and it's wise to be risk-averse in the management of the species.

                  As with most government rules, they aren't out to get you or exist just because. They are (generally) based in science, despite the best attempts of current ideologues. Some rules might seem weird and arbitrary if you're not familiar with the system they operate in, but rest assured they are there for a reason (most of the time).

                    @[Deactivated]: Thanks for your contribution. I dare to say that scientists are (generally) funded by governments / organisations with political agenda.
                    Don't you think 'science' is a religion itself ?

                    • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2021 - 14:34

                      @PAPower: Lmao a fisheries management scientist employed by the state of new south wales will of course be funded by government.

                      I'd love to know what you think the political agenda behind catch limits might be. Don't you think politicians would aim to please fishers? Not discriminate against them?

                      When considering whether an agenda or bias may be at play I generally think about what a party has to gain from such an agenda or bias. What do you think the NSW government might gain from limiting catch of particular fish species? Do you think it's more likely that a political agenda is at play, or that there is relevant scientific rationale backing up a position?

                      I don't think science is a religion and you'd have to be pretty blind to think in such terms. There is no similarity.

                        @[Deactivated]: I 'think' the gain for government is from profits of cattle/meat industry.
                        Again, I 'think' governments would prefer cattle to aquaculture because pastorals own heaps of land whilst fisheries are not likely to own much land.

                          @PAPower: I mean it's a bit of a stretch don't you think mate? What percentage impact do you think catch limits have on the value of the fishing industry vs what small benefits to pastoral agriculture (which is also hamstrung by government-backed water science: see limits on take and storage of water)?

                          And considering what marginal benefit there may be to agriculture, is it more likely that low level government workers like me have put into place unscientific rules on catch at the behest of our overlords? Like there are so many checks and balances along the road to a rule being in place. It's quite hard to be corrupt by MAKING rules. It's very easy to be corrupt by knowing how to avoid them, however.

          There's also billions more people in the world eating fish than back then. Unfortunately international waters are hard to regulate so sustainability is a serious issue.

          So much so that virtually every economics text book in print uses the sustainability crisis in fishing to explain multiple concepts, particularly the 'prisoners dilemma' regarding the abuse of open access resources.

          There weren't much (if any) fishing rules back then.

          They weren't stupid. They didn't kill/eat small fish before they could breed. They also caught selectively, they didn't just drag a giant net behind a trawler.

          You might want to have a look how unsustainable fishing is working out overseas.

      I have asked about this in store and they have a dedicated section seperate which is used for cooking them. There shouldn't be any cross contamination. I'd still ask in store to be doubly sure though if you are vegan.

      For those that asked, somewhere like Hungry Jack's don't use a separate grill for their plant based burgers so they are cooked on the same grill as meat products. I believe the exception are the vegan whoppers that we deep fried with the chips.

      Side note…the Beyond Meat patties are amazing!

            @2ndeffort: I'd say the negs are for using the term SJW incorrectly. Grill'd has a small weekly donation to a local charity or community group (Scouts, Beyond Blue etc) from day one, and they cater for vegans by offering a vegan burger more recently. By this logic, Dominos is an SJW group too because they have 5 vegan pizzas. People can't just say groups are SJW because they make a small effort to care about something. Community outreach is a good thing. Catering to more groups is also a good thing.

            @2ndeffort: Accusations of Grill'd being SJW and "Bait and Switch" put negative connotation against the organisation and the veganism in general since these offers are specifically for vegan based burgers. As I said, no one is arguing against 2-for-1 deals on other burgers, but when you accuse them of being SJW specifically to cater for Vegans, then it becomes an issue.

      It all comes back to the marketing budget. But again, a portion of it would come from the wages, sadly.

      They're not staff, but they're apprentices! They get government funding to underpay their workers to get a useless Cert III in burger flipping.

    Take a day off meat. It's not only good for your body, it's good for Mother Earth

    Is it?

    Specifically, Lustgarten says, plant-based patties have to nail “that rich, meaty mouthfeel that people are looking for.” For that, you need “a pretty significant” amount of fat — and “oil is a straight fat source.”
    For some brands, that means adding lots and lots of coconut oil — which is heavy in saturated fats, a “major driver of high LDL cholesterol,” says Heffron. “And as a cardiologist, LDL cholesterol is our enemy.”
    In fact, saturated fats are the reason he tells patients to avoid red meat to begin with. Eating too much of it, he explains, can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries. That can prevent blood from reaching the heart — and, in worst-case scenarios, it can cause a heart attack.
    Nutritional numbers suggest that plant-based burgers simply swap one kind of saturated fat for another — and, in some cases, they wind up having even more of that bad fat than animal meat. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 80-percent-lean ground beef — the lean-to-fat ratio recommended by chefs for making burgers — contains about 8.6 grams of saturated fat per ¼-pound portion. That’s comparable to the same amount of Impossible Burger, with 8 grams, and Beyond Beef, at 6.

      Just to make mention, there are many other things to consider such as less water wastage and the fact that red meat is a carcinogen.

      coconut oil and saturated fat in general is fine, it's hydrogenated oils you need to look out for. They're highly inflammatory.

      in terms of body and planetary health the big thing to look out for with all these vegan fake alternative foods is that they're not loaded with Glyphosate soaked GMO crops, because that's what's killing the planet's precious topsoil and biodiversity.

      which is also the big problem with beef production in the world, cattle being fed corn and soy instead of being run on grassy pastures. Large herbivores roaming in herds, eating grass and crapping all over the place, is perfectly natural, sustainable, and highly beneficial to the environment. May or may not be good for beef prices however.

        Don't be stupid.
        Having thousands of cows confined to a small area crapping all over the place is not natural and pollutes waterways

          one cardiologist, reading from the American Heart Association hymn sheet. Ever heard of getting a second opinion? I didn't come up with this idea myself, plenty of GPs, scientists and yes, even cardiologists are trying to ring the bell on saturated fats and hydrogenated oils.

          and so you keep them away from the riverbank, like they are (here) by the sounds of things. Its not rocket science. The ABC have dozens of reports on how successful regenerative farming practices have been where farmers have been brave enough to try it.

          part of the reason healthy soil is so important is because it absorbs far more water, reducing runoff, and hence contamination, erosion, etc.

        Pretty sure glyphosate has been found in plenty of end products such as cereal (in the US) and is a suspected carcinogen

        Americans love feeding their cattle corn for better yield, even though grass fed beef is so much better for you (omega 3 / 6 profile)

        Unfortunately we are the problem, I don't think our population is sustainable with the currently implemented food growing practices

          absolutely staggering how much of this stuff douses crops around the world, only a matter of time before it meets the same fate as DDT, lead in petrol, etc. Its just a question of how much damage will be done in the meantime.

          if you're not interested in waiting for the gov to catch up on this issue, buy unprocessed, buy organic, buy grass fed, avoid GMOs.

          Population is a huge factor in most issues affecting our civilisation as well as the world overall. Thing though is, most western countries population / birth rate is going down, the issue is with more of the developing countries and eastern countries where the population growth is out of control and then they migrate to the western countries. If we can get population growth worldwide under control then we can ease up on a lot of issues around the world. Other possibility although right now not possible is to colonise other planets. Most science fiction authors who were also scientists back in the day felt this was the only real fix to population growth which is to spread the population out to other worlds.

      Then there is the salt

      But faux-meat products like Beyond Burger aren’t perfect. “They’re highly-processed foods and typically are high in sodium, which could be a problem for people with high blood pressure,” she adds.
      Per four-ounce uncooked Beyond Burger patty, you’ll get
      Sodium: 380 mg
      Compare that to four ounces of raw beef (80 percent lean):
      Sodium: 75 mg

          That includes the bun, sauce and everything else in the Big Mac.

        Except a beef patty at any restraunt isn't just raw beef (especially not 80% lean). That's not a valid comparison.

        Check out Woolies basic beef patty.

          Raw is a fair comparison. Comparing cooked is unfair because you lose moisture depending on how long you cook it for.

          Check out Woolies basic beef patty.

          I don't think many restaurants serve those, or even use pre made ones as it is cheaper to make your own and they are unique to the restaurant.

          430 mg of Sodium in a 100 gram patty.

          Most of that comes from the 27% of things that aren't beef, and the added salts

      The Grill'd Beyond Burger (unhealthiest vego option) has the same saturated fat and total fat as the healthiest Grill'd beef option. All the other Grill'd beef burgers contain more total fat and saturated fat.

      Maybe you should have checked the Grill'd nutritional info before posting an New York Post article.

      What I don't understand is that if you become a vegan it's generally because of animal rights - but how come a lot of vegan food needs to mimic meat? Surely if you're against the slaughter of animals for food, you wouldn't want your diet to consist of products that look and taste like meat?!

        I'm not sure what there is to not understand… so you're saying that if something tastes good, and your only objection to it is how it is sourced (breeding / killing animals) then you must also choose to not like the taste? Why?

        I love the taste of meat, I hate how it gets on my plate… if there were two meals in front of you and both tasted exactly the same, would you choose the one that requires an animal be bred / killed or the one which is sourced from plants? It's a no brainer for me.
