Nearly 2M metric tons of wild fish used to feed Norwegian farmed salmon annually

My point is more that cows are great at taking inedible grasses and turning them into protein. Growing a rich protein and then feeding it to a cow to make slightly different tasting protein is dumb.

Impossible to scale however. Not sure how it is in other EU nations, but Germany in particular loves to put animals as closely together as they can get away with, which is basically in enclosures in which the animals can't move whatsoever.

It's especially egregious because these factories get subventions by animal, so everyone is paying to create these factories from hell - including people that don't eat meat for moral reasons. And no political party sees any issues with that.

It tastes better is plenty good enough reason. We build multi-billion dollar companies for slight conveniences and you call this dumb...lol.

I don’t doubt that was your original point, but I think dxuh’s contribution shows that it’s a much more nuanced continuum than your comment suggested.
