 I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |
Slap your local supermarket round the face with a wet haddock

Until they stop selling endangered fish. Really, there is no need to sell fish that are going to become extinct if we keep eating them. No one, but no one, should have a problem with this. If I can't eat swordfish because there isn't a sustainable fish stock, well, that's just how it goes. The supermarkets should be wet-fish-slapped until they all operate a sustainable fish only policy.

I still can't believe that supermarkets (or anyone) are knowingly selling these fish - I would possibly have bought one of these, never knowing that they were endangered - why aren't there laws against selling anything that is on the endangered list?

Not to get all literal-minded about the slapping them with haddock, which includes all these things, but here goes anyway. Ask them, every time you go in, over and over again, about the source and endangeredness of their fish. And if they have anything certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Just so they know you're paying attention. Then don't buy anything if they don't.
Or you could wear a gigantic fish costume and pass out flyers if you're super hardcore. Or just write them a letter or e-mail. |
