    What about the plate? What about the fork? What about the cashier?

    So if I buy $20/lb 'correct' fish then what do I do about the Chinese people who baked the plate in a kiln or plated the stainless fork? Did the whole foods store correctly implement its harrassment policy for the cashier? Paying more for something is not in and of itself a virtue. If you feel that strongly about it, then tithe.

    —Stephen Rifkin
