Cod Heads
Yep that's dead right, if the North Sea Fleet is out fishing for a particular species and catch a haul of Cod, they have to throw it back just to feed the gulls, if they're over quota, just plain stupidity . They cannot buy and sell quota either. There is no shortage of Cod, just that it's a coldwater species, the shoals have just moved North into Scandinavin and Icelandic waters which no one else can fish,(They give one warning shell, the next goes into the factory ships Bridge the third sinks it! The Vikings still just don't stand any crap!) with the warming of the North Sea. The Scandinavians, the most sensible race on the Planet, have the richest fishing grounds in the World, that they protect literally to the death and remain very much independant. They haven't exported their skills or imported their labour and have always been very "Green" too.They remain strongly Neutral and independant. Hats off to 'em.
The food shortage issue is a very real and growing problem. Fact, recently discussed by the UN:- if the Chinese population were to eat the same amount of Beef per capita as the Taiwanese, there would not be enough land on the planet to grow the feed to fatten Beef for them alone! Scary stuff eh! Over population and a growing disposable income Worldwide with the desire for "Western" diets is fuelling the shortage.
I hadn't realised though that Beef was seen as being bad for the planet Stateside. Interesting that, as it makes a lot of sense alongside my UN "fact?"
