Following the facts in this problematic horror-doc leads to the frighting conclusion that the only viable option left for anyone concerned about our collapsing ocean ecosystems is to stop eating seafood, everything, even farmed fish, seaweedFollowing the facts in this problematic horror-doc leads to the frighting conclusion that the only viable option left for anyone concerned about our collapsing ocean ecosystems is to stop eating seafood, everything, even farmed fish, seaweed is the only option...if this seems a bit dramatic well strap in, because it's looking like the shock horror of The Cove (the documented rounding-up of wild dolphins in Japan for sale into the captive dolphin entertainment industry) is only the beginning, it gets a lot worse, this is perspective-changing filmmaking on a global scale

Kudos too to Netflix for making it available to stream. Like "Cowspiracy," it's revelatory, exposing the grip money has even on organizations that label themselves as environmental champions, because of where their donations come from. Watch this and you'll rethink fish as an alternative to meat after you've watched the other one. There's only one solution. Do your part, for your own sake and those who come after you. Make the change.… Expand
