And...? In my memory, things seemed simpler back then, in that we only had one car per family, walked or biked to school, didn't have anything like the selection of toys and clothes available. Everyone seemed to be pretty equal in their income level too...the disparity between the haves and have nots wasn't anything like as big as it is now.

Reports from Deakin University say the global cat food industry consumes nearly 5.5 billion pounds of forage fish that comprise a critical part of the food chain for larger fish, plus sea mammals and birds. The fish include sardines, capelin, anchovy and herring. <br /> And pampered cats eat far more fish than people do. In Australia, each pet cat consumes an estimated 30 pounds of fish per year, well above the human per capita consumption of 24 pounds; seafood consumption in the U.S. is roughly 16 pounds per person. The Australian study says the global pet food industry is increasingly marketing luxury fish products that contain a significant amount of fish that may be suitable for human<br /><br />Frightening?

This is sadly a very informative article and list. It gets me thinking and motivated to do more further reducing my footprint.<br /><br />With capitalism on steroids raging into the next 4 years in the U.S., I can only imagine what this list will look like. Will we even recognize our homeland, our earth?<br /><br />Alex, maybe cod stocks are reducing in the North Sea not only because of warming seas but from overfishing. Fish oil supplements are very popular in the U.S. I question motives of all mainstream media as I know you do. In solidarity with you on their denial of reality.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735740353891550502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-68545050904674643432016-12-13T16:16:13.495-04:002016-12-13T16:16:13.495-04:00There was a BBC report today saying that cod stock...There was a BBC report today saying that cod stocks in the north sea will decrease due to warming seas. The did not raise any alarm or consider ecological impact. Instead they said that the traditional cod and chips would need to be replaced with squid and chips. That's how serious the BBC is taking global warming. Please humanity stop eating fish and yes fish is bad for health.<br />Peace,<br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
