Jersey Girl, you’re now wearing North American [Union] capris.

That is outrageous.

Regarding the fish from China. I’m sure the FDA makes certain that all of it is safe for the sheople to consume?

How much money have we borrowed from China? The fish is safe. Just take our word.

Well, we’re constantly being told how we should eat more fish & less meat. Many have given up beef & chicken and eat mainly seafood. Is it any wonder the seas are “overfished.”?

Munich..not only China. At the supermarket, I now see signs that say… meat from U.S., Mexico & Canada. Why the HELL does the U.S. have to import beef?? It’s all about the good ole NAU which they tell us doesn’t exist.

Oh and btw, I recently bought a pair of capris that said U.S.,Mexico & Canada on the label… wtf??

Hey M… I’ve gained great respect for the earth’s yearn to rejuvenate life where I live – on the cusp of the world’s most active volcano. 200 years ago this area was inundated with ash from an eruption like mt st helens – with 2-5 feet of volcanic ash from a pyroclastic event. Almost every tree alive here now was born in the aftermath. The earth has a great tenacity to survive, and hopefully will live beyond humanity, which has done everything within it’s capacity to stifle life on this planet. In this regard I have some hope for the future. May mother earth correct it’s aberrant species… homo sapiens. Long live the future – and without us. I live only 3 miles from where the event took place. But I’ve always been a fringe dweller. (Otherwise life would be too dull

Aloha, brother.

I haven’t eaten any fish going on three weeks. We’ve over fished the seas. You would think that the Food Network would include a disclaimer on their programs? Ina Garten is always down at her local fish monger in N.E. I’m sure she only uses “fresh” and not farm raised?

Most of the fish sold in supermarkets here in Philadelphia are farm raised, or is frozen and from China.

Yes, and the irony being that all those other species don’t have capacity to understand what is their obvious self-destructive behavior …

lucky us …

These gloomy articles must be required to end on a ‘up’ note. Of course it’s unlikely we will find affordable seafood in five years, let alone 40.

I’m glad he has hope …

Of course I’m wondering if he really does.

And if there are those that know reality sucks, it might be this COTO crowd. And in the end,how many of us out there, are there, that are crazy enough to speak it as it is?

My only answer is, never enough.

One of the things we studied at Institute for Environmental Alternatives (IEA), was Ocean bio-ecology, eco-system collapse, this was in 68′-70′, and what we discovered back then left me with barely any hope.

Over the years, gaining other knowledge that can only be gained through experience, I’ve gained a deeper respect for resiliency of nature, with an equal disgust for what people will do to remain alive.

We at the IEA had all in private come to the conclusion that even if we started back then to have reversed a collision course with an inevitable ego-system collapse, that we still had only a slim chance of surviving as a species.

I’ve been unpopular at parties ever since.
