So much in the store is very overpackaged, too. But honestly, the bigger issue is about how much overharvesting of the seas occurs. Consumers need to pressure producers to minimize by-catch and waste and to reduce predation on species whose populations are rapidly diminishing. We can make change happen if we use the power of our purse or pocketbook as a bright "green" carrot to reward producers who fish sustainably. I’m not surprised about Trader Joe’s.
