...fish populations to re-double? Been watching these recent programmes about the depletetion of the ocean's wares.
About time there was campaigns and such to highlight this wasteful business. I always knew it was bad, but I didn't reckon on the percentages of fish waste in lieu to the fish that does actually find it's way into the commercial market...90 percent! Staggering!
Is that insane or what? Much as these gushing spaz-ersed celeb/chefs get on me nerves, I have to say they are certainly more effective than politicios. Also Gordon Ramsay is on the shark fin cases, which is beyond the pale when it comes to animal cruelty in the Far Eastern states, so something good has gotta come from that.
Personally it starts with consumer demand, but if there were stringent enough laws to tackle this head on, surely it wouldn't effect us too much to ban fishing as a whole for a few years or the banning of cod? Just to give the fish a chance to redouble their population count a few times?
Replace general fishing with fisheries? Which would tide the fishing industry over until it would be deemed okay to return to trawling? Lets face its only the foodie idiots that would moan about the differences in taste in farmed salmon or fresh salmon say, and who gives a toss about their opinions if say we as a human race were to face the untimely demise of the oceans's fruits? I mean Britain had to go through the ration years for fuck's sake. This society seems to deem itself sophisicated by ordering fast depleteing items in restaurants. It doesn't do.
Food is at such abundance with the meat and diary industry it wouldn't effect us hardly if we all laid off the decreasing fishes in question, surely.
I personally don't give two shites for cod or tuna anyway, overrated if you ask me. Too fattening, fish and chips, packed with lard. As for canned tuna, salty as bejabbers, doesn't even taste like proper tuna, proper tuna meat is texturous like steak and has a differnet flavor. Big things tunas are, bloody massive. Not as big as a baleen whale though, but that's another question in itself.
