Labeling is a major issue for all products, but I have to say, I think he'd stop eating everything else he's eating if he was also a scientist in touch with their production.

The food we eat is mass produced, we should assume very low quality and environmental sustainability.

Now, should I stop eating fish? Nothing was proven a health concern, what's the effect of the small plastic I'll ingest through fish?

Most studies I've seen on health correlate healthy individuals with eating fish. Now, those are probably a few years or decade old, is fish worse today? I think it's still inconclusive.



Right! How many places did you work that made you vow to never use after seeing behind the curtain?

We live in happy ignorance of the horrible shit in most of our food but we have pretty reasonable controls that none of it is complete poison.

Eating fish would also correlate with a lot of other things in many parts of the developed world, like spending more on food, or following mainstream “healthy” advice, which correlates with other choices.

Is it? The food I eat predominantly isn't. Speak for yourself.
