Fish are friends, not food.



OK, we need your help to settle a little dispute that Darrin and I are having. Remy was watching Finding Nemo and the part where Dory and Marlin run into Bruce and his friends came on. Darrin says to me that he believes that Bruce and friends just wanted to lure Dory and Marlin in to eat them and that the Fish Eaters Anonymous was just a front for them to get fish to trust them so they can eat them. I strongly disagree and feel as though they really were trying to stay on the wagon and not eat fish.
So, what do you all think?

I think Darrin just can't imagine sharks as wanting to do good. Of course they are actively trying to overcome their fish eating desires.

I totally agree with Mandy. They're trying to overcome their fish-eating habits. Why else would the sharks try to stop Bruce from eating the fish when he gets the scent of Dory's blood?

I have to hope that they were on the wagon. If sharks can give up fish then I can do anything!!

Since Darrin is my brother, I have to side with him. I swam with sharks back in 'Nam and I've seen one of their Fish Eaters Anonymous locations. It's a lot like walking into a Brothel when you think it's a place where they make chicken broth. It's like anger management... it only makes you more angry. My war buddy Ricky lost a finger to one of those "fish friendly" sharks while checking out their headquarters. It's a scam, trust me.

Mandy's right, it's a kids movie and everything is happy in Disney!

I have to side with Darrin. I have no doubt that these hippie sharks thought they were doing the world and themselves good when they came up with the idea of Fish Eaters Anonymous. But really, who were they kidding? Sharks just aren't built to suck plankton through those nasty pointy teeth. They are carnivores by nature- the way that God intended them to be.

I really wonder if the Disney writers thought this thru much. I don't think Fish alternatives were even mentioned in the movie.

Its sad and true but we all have to eat things that were once or are currently alive. Go ahead, order a salad with some sunflower seeds. Don't you realize that the lettuce came from a little seed packet and was raised in a perfect row in fertilized soil and that just before this young lettuce's prime, he was severed from his life-giving roots, thrown in a truck with thousands of other lettuce, sold to the highest bidder, separated from its family, chopped into bite-size pieces, sealed in a bag and put on display at the grocery store, just so we can buy them with our Fresh Values card for a discounted price- for what purpose? to eat them.

It really is sad when you think about. So wake up people! We are omnivores. Sharks are Carnivores and Fish can be Friends AND food.

I think...I'm glad Clint and I aren't the only ones who have gotten in an arguement over a Disney movie! So funny!

We recently bought Charlie a fish aquarium. That same night we had Tilapia fillets for dinner...

FISH = FRIENDS, FISH = FOOD

FRIENDS != FOOD

(for those of you who are non-nerds, that means friends do not equal food)
