Day 179: Lobster

Thanks Theo!  It was his 16th birthday today and as he is a foodie who likes lobster we all went to dinner at a restaurant called Pinces (Claws) where we had a lobster each (except Eliot who had steak!).   Theo asked me today what would be better in my opinion banning all industrial cattle farming or banning all industrial fishing ?  My natural inclination would be to ban cattle farming as it creates a lot more CO2 emissions and I prefer losing beef rather than fish from my diet.  Having said that I then thought that might mean we would replace the beef by catching even more fish which would devastate the ocean.  But some quick google research shows we consume 70 Million tons of beef a year compared to  200M tons of farmed or wild fish so we could probably replace all the beef with fish & poultry (which has a much lower environmental impact). I hope my butcher doesn't read my blog!

Happy Birthday Theo!
