Eat more fish

The little lady and I are trying to eat a greater percentage of vegetarian and fish dishes (we already were for the most part). We aren't cutting out red meat by any means, but simply cutting back. Being a big ol bleedin' heart blah, blah, whatever, I have concerns about fish farms, etc. We almost always buy from Whole Foods so I don't worry as much, but it's still something in the back of my mind. That's why I was excited when I found this handy dandy pocket guide. Shedd Aquarium created this guide to help consumers make good fish type choices as far as the environment is concerned. It's called the Right Bite Card. It separates different fish types into three columns based on the fisheries and fish farms that are healthier for ocean wildlife and the environment.

Maybe I'm just a big dork but I feel better about my purchases after being able to reference this list. Feel free to check it out if you are a big tree hugger like us.
