    This is just horrifying

    Whenever someone mentions at a dinner party that fish may be gone from our tables by 2050, there are mostly blank faces. Like, what on earth are you talking about? Pre-stunned as it were. It's such a gut-level subject, especially in seafood-rich climes and cuisines, that it's hard to know what to do, where to turn, right off the bat.

    Thanks for articles like these - it's really what I look to Salon to provide. The political stuff is entertaining, in it's own useless sort of way, but this is essential to know.
