The Sushi Exception


Last night we felt like going out for something special so we got sushi. I realize that eating fish is pretty indefensible on some level. One rationalization is that fish aren't, for the most part, factory farmed, so at least they live pretty decent lives until they get caught. It's also hard to form a connection with a fish, no matter how hard you try. Finally, eating fish isn't all that bad for you, compared to, say, beef. On the other hand, the world is running out of fish and by eating seafood, you are helping to hasten that. So, like milk and cheese, having fish in our diet is a bit of a cop-out, but, damn it would be sad to envision a life without sushi.
