false 1425355 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg An eye-opening look at aquaculture that does for seafood what Fast Food Nation did for beef.



Dividing his sensibilities between Epicureanism and ethics, Taras Grescoe set out on a nine-month, worldwide search for a delicious—and humane—plate of seafood. What he discovered shocked him. From North American Red Lobsters to fish farms and research centers in China, Bottomfeeder takes readers on an illuminating tour through the $55-billion-dollar-a-year seafood industry. Grescoe examines how out-of-control pollution, unregulated fishing practices, and climate change affect what ends up on our plate. More than a screed against a multibillion-dollar industry, however, this is also a balanced and practical guide to eating, as Grescoe explains to readers which fish are best for our environment, our seas, and our bodies.



At once entertaining and illuminating, Bottomfeeder is a thoroughly enjoyable look at the world’s cuisines and an examination of the fishing and farming practices we too easily take for granted. </div></div>]]> 3134478 6 3165897 book 30 3 2008 BOTTOMFEEDER: A Seafood Lover's Journey to the End of the Food Chain total:130|5:57|4:49|3:21|2:3|1:0| 130 550 340 57 352717 3.97 307 113 20730843 127018 3134478 0002007819 9780002007818 43 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3134478.Bottomfeeder_A_Seafood_Lover_s_Journey_to_the_End_of_the_Food_Chain 4.22 90 2008 5 3 false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 11:49:03 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 04 13:51:43 -0800 2009
