What's the deal with the recent report saying that Trader Joe's has some of the most unsustainable seafood choices on the market? I love Trader Joe's, this can't be!
Sustainability life choice of the day - let's do one variable at a time. Is it better to do one-stop shop at TJ's on way home from gym (it's next door - I know gyms aren't sustainable, that'll be a later post) and buy the bad fish, or go to another grocery store just to get the good fish? If I'm walking, probably latter is better. But if I'm driving, is former better? Is latter still better? How far away from first grocery store must second grocery store be, in opposite direction of my house, to offset the pros of buying sustainable seafood with the cons of supporting middle-east petrodictatorships to get there (thanks Thomas Friedman)?
Life's full of tough choices, isn't it?

Well, to cut TJ's some slack, the first round of Greenpeace's reports (about 1 year ago) did not have a single supermarket with a passing grade. The Monterey Seafood Watch seems to be the definitive program at this time. PCC adheres to their guidelines. And they have a cool app for your iPhone!
