Andy Revkin also has a great blogpost at the New York Times on Our Exhausted Oceans. With opposition to aquaculture by many scientists as well as support for more marine protected areas, Revkin asks where we think seafood will come from in the future? My own answer: If we're smart, we'll eat like pigs--lower on the marine food web taking fewer of these small tasty fish out of the sea to feed to farmed fish, chicken, and pigs.

It pains me to blog this. I think Andrew Revkin is one of our best science journalists, and I don't criticize him easily.
That might also explain why my taking a stand here is a bit tardy.
About a year ago I was sitting around with a couple friends and they asked me where I thought my career was going. They were genuinely curious - what does blogging actually lead to? What kind of career advancement might a blogger get eventually? Can you transfer from blogging to journalism?
I still liked your post on bug meal and using that to feed the farm animals. Maybe using it to feed the farmed fish too! As far as that goes, any person with an appetite for it could pig out too! LOL! If you get updates on that technology maybe you could post it? If that was to take off in a big way I think it could end up being a big solution!

All in all, it makes about as much sense as raising food crops to burn in our cars....while deepening the dependency on foreign energy sources and worsening the CO2 pollution, or so we're being told now. No thanks to ADM.
