Sushi: The Global Catch

Have you ever eaten sushi? If so, the phenomenal growth in demand for sushi has come at a cost: overfishing has led to depleting fish stocks, which in turn has threatened the balance of the ocean’s ecosystems. Is the current sushi trade sustainable? What can be done to ensure that the prized Blue Fin Tuna exists for future generations to come? This timely documentary - winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2011 Seattle International Film Festival and the Audience Award at the 2012 San Francisco Green Film Festival - poses some important questions that all sushi lovers should give thought to before placing their next order of sushi.

“There is no species that has fared worse at the hands of humans.”

You have the power to choose where your food comes from each and every time you make a purchase. You can enjoy a rich and exciting culinary experience without putting a species like Blue Fin Tuna closer to the brink of extinction. Sad to see that several Austin sushi restaurants/trailers had the distinction of being chosen for this clip.

I love sushi as much as the next guy. I love it way more than someone who lives on a grad student salary should. But it’s up to the consumer to demand change.

Visit the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch page, and download the pocket guide and mobile apps to help choose sustainable fish.

theweekmagazine:

‘ObamaCare’ goes to court. The Supreme Court on Monday will begin an epic, three-day session to hear opposing arguments over President Obama’s overhaul of the health-care system. The court will be examining four separate angles within the case, each of which is fairly complex. The litigants will address the heart of the matter: Does Congress have the constitutional authority to penalize Americans who do not buy health insurance?

Here, a guide to the blockbuster case

Norah O’Donnell, Chief White House Correspondent for CBS: Today is Super Tuesday so I thought you might want to weigh in on some of your potential republican opponents.

Mitt Romney has criticized you on Iran, and said ‘hope is not a foreign policy.’ He also said you are ‘America’s most feckless president since Carter.’ What would you like to say to Mr. Romney?

President Obama: Good luck tonight. (Laughs all around W.H. press room)

Unknown reporter: No, really?

President Obama: Really. (More laughs)
