Personally I think that we need to change what it means to be standard vegetarian - add fish, remove dairy. Better for the environment and perhaps easier for people to switch to!

Currently, I have to go around calling myself a "lacto-pescatarian" which is far too much of a mouthful

It would be far better for the planet for vegetarians to eat chicken than to continue to support the fishing industry.

Fish farms are more environmentally sustainable than chicken farms. Overfishing is a problem but it's not the only way to get fish

I think it's more complex than that [1]. But I also think that seafood is inseparable from overfishing as an industry.
