Taras Grescoe has managed to publish a book that matters in a publishing industry full of romance novels, right wing manifestos, self-help, and movie novelizations. He is the author of Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood. Most of the seafood sold in North America is either chock full of heavy metals, contributing to the extinction of species, or both.

Bottomfeeder explains it all, showing you wish fisheries are sustainable, which fish are actually still healthy for you, and what you can do and what you can eat to save what is left of our bleeding oceans.

Three of the top offenses--eating Blue Fin Tuna, Atlantic Halibut, and Atlantic Cod. Thank the popularity of sushi for the impending extinction of the Blue Fin, and thank the piss-poor management by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Guess what his number one oceanic offense is? You guessed it--eating Shark!

North Americans fly off the handle when they see that they eat endangered Tigers in China, or endangered Gorillas in the Congo, but don't seem to see any problem with taking down a few Tuna Rolls at their local sushi joint. IT IS THE SAME THING.
