Poor fish

I was a bit sceptical when suddenly all the fish in the supermarkets had eco-labels on. One day it's just ordinary fish from the ocean the next day it's caught sustainably, they want to make us believe. Read this short article from David Suzuki why fish need a bicycle and you have all reason to question any fish you eat. The Marine Stewardship Council does intend a certification that in my eyes doesn't keep the promise that the organisation gives to the consumer. Considering the amount of by-catch mentioned  in the article they can stick their vision of keeping the ocean alive up their a.. . As a friend said, don't eat anything that comes out of the ocean! I have to agree. That's very sad though because I love fish, alive and on my plate.
