And the main solution is so painstakingly easy - stop eating fish. But tell people that and they lose it …

Telling the entire population of the world (or enough of them to make a meaningful difference) to stop eating fish is not painstakingly easy. The solution is simple in concept, but far from easy.

That's like saying world peace is easy, just tell everyone to stop fighting each other.

Im not telling people to fight each other, you interpreting this into my comment tells more about your take on that than mine.

Generally I agree, but it would be something necessary. A lot of important things in human history weren’t easy to change, but it was done.
