I See London, I See…Sanely Sourced Fish and Chips?!

Interesting…

The Brits seem to be getting behind the Sustainable Foods Movement.

Of course, Europe is so far ahead of us already on the Local Foods movement…

It will take longer here since Monsanto has taken over our government…

The English grind their picket-fence teeth through one billon pounds of fish each year, according to AOL News.

That massive consumption doesn’t bode well for the gilled residents of London, where hundreds of thousands of sport fans are expected to descend for the 2012 Olympic games. Aside from filling stadiums, the Olympic tourists can be counted on to gorge on the native fried finger-food delicacy.

In the 20th century, U.K. fishery stocks declined by 94 percent. Many wonder if the nation’s staple hangover cure can endure, of if the fish will all be gone. The Games don’t make chances for survival look any rosier.

That’s why the Sustainable Fish City initiative wants all of London to commit to sanely sourced fish—not just for dishes served at the Olympic Games (the initiative accomplished that much already), but for all fish portions throughout the city.

Attainable? We’ll see. It’s an ambitious goal, but the outlook is positive.
