→ Debunking our 'fetish of the fresh'
An outrageously illiterate article from The Globe and Mail that misinterprets the very research article it purports to explain. The research article doesn’t actually mention “fresh” or “local” fish — rather, it’s a comparison of how the environmental impact of fish farming differs in different countries. The Globe writer also totally conflates “local” with “fresh” — two entirely different things.
I don’t think anyone would debate that fresh fish flown across the ocean has more environmental impact than farmed, frozen fish transported in a tanker. But this particular research says nothing about local, wild-caught fish, which almost certainly has the least carbon impact of all.

Nifty bookmarklet that changes a webpage on the fly to look like a book with nice, large type, proper margins, and no distractions. Very cool. (via David Pogue)
