So, apparently I’m a pescatarian. No, I don’t belong to some weird cult (except the Church of the Subgenius.) I’m essentially a vegetarian, except I eat fish too. Yeah, I know, I know- what a hypocrite. But I find that diet is no longer a battle for me. I can use condiments without checking sardine-content (you laugh, but read labels and you’ll know what I’m talking about). I don’t crave meat, so I rarely give in. I may not be strict, but I’m sustainable.
So there are cruelty issues, yes. And overfishing is a massive global problem. So I’m glad I stumbled upon the Seafood Watch Card, which details which fish are overfished, and which are sustainable. Check it out online or download a printable copy. Unless of course you’re a vegetarian, in which case cheers to you.
