In Oz of all places, we love pineapple here! The question starts to become, what is Italian culture? What is culture itself?

Wheat flour for the base originated in the middle east, tomatoes are from South America. Every culture is a melting pot of other cultures. Stop clinging to the identity of a culture and just enjoy the fruit of this collaboration.

Pineapple on pizza, bring it! The Californian sushi roll is from Canada and Salmon in sushi comes from Norway. It is all just one big mix of the world, the world is a globe it has no boarders.

Don't eat salmon, they deserve to live as well.

    Do Indigenous peoples who harvest salmon sustainably, and whose culture is based on and intertwined with the salmon, get a pass in your book?

    Absolutely! This is the one part where I diverge from most vegans. I am not conceptually against meat, but I am completely against it in the context of the modern hyper exploitative system. And I suspect the indigenous folks that harvest salmon would be to.

    The reason they have had to much issues with that over the years is because some bastard came in and decided to try and scrape the rivers clear of salmon because they could get $2 a head or whatever.

    Alas, in the modern system, as soon as you put a dollar price on something, it no longer remains that thing. If you are paid $10 per tree cut-down, you see a forest and nothing but money. When a salmon can get you a dollar, you just seen dollar bills floating in the river. Money is a useful tool to allow trade to happen smoothly but at this extreme end is is the lubricant of 'The machine' and it will consume everything it can.

    We also have to take the credit (or blame) for the Hawaiian pizza, although it was a Greek immigrant to Canada who first put ham and pineapple on a pizza.
