It is too easy to forget about or ignore major global issues as a middle-class, white, American male. One such issue is that of sustainable food sources. We don't have enough of them!
Instead of trying to cover the whole issue, I want to use this post to focus on fish. Fish is an invaluable part of a healthy diet. Fish is delicious. The only people I know who don't like fish have not tried more than one kind prepared more than one way.
The ocean has been over-fished for years. Fish populations are dwindling. The solution -- fish farms! Have you ever seen a fish farm? Most of them are inadequate and unsustainable, not to mention unsuitable as an environment for fish. But how else will we be able to eat fish without eradicating the entire population?
Dan Barber, a chef and speaker for TED talks, describes a REAL solution to the fish problem. The video is brief, informative, entertaining, and inspiring. Here is the link:
