Stumble It!
Dubious Distinction Foodie Awards: The " fattest state" continues to be Mississippi, with ' Bama making a run at being number one. All that fried chicken? Colorado is the skinniest. ( Vermont??) Fat, salt, and corn syrup over all.
Meanwhile, those who try to eat fish to keep the pounds off need to be wary of where they buy. The just released Greenpeace report titled Carting Away the Oceans wallops Trader Joe's and Costco bigtime, as having no seafood sustainability programs, a "willful disregard for our oceans," and no apparent desire to improve. Whole Foods does well on this point, as do SuperTarget stores--even Walmart is not too shabby in this area. Read the report here.

Great piece, Sonya, tks--a CSA of sorts for fish--wish we all could mosey on down to the water and make a deal with a fisherperson, but, sigh...
