There were two interesting pieces in yesterday's NYT that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention. The first was a front page piece on the Hoki fish from New Zealand, which apparently is the fish you usually are eating in a fish filet from McD's or in frozen fish sticks. The story reminds us that there is no permanently sustainable fish stock -- what's plentiful today can easily be over-fished tomorrow. I was also interested to see how political pressure can result in continued stamp of approval from the Marine Stewardship Council, even after evidence begins to emerge that a fish is no longer plentiful.
The second piece was an op-ed by Michael Pollan pointing out that many of our current health-care issues can be traced to our eating habits. You may agree or disagree with him, but it is an interesting argument to address.
