I come across the Seafood WATCH site, and its information and design really interested me. I can’t remember if I find out about the site before or after the presentation we had in class, but I do remember that the Sushi guide is what that catch my eyes. I love its simplistic design, and easy to use handbook style. There are many guide books out there with information about how to help our environment and ecosystem, but most of them are boring and hard to carry around. With the knowledge of this Sushi guide I bring it with me to a Sushi restaurant down town. What I find most interesting is that most of the Sushi under “Best Choice” I have never ordered it before (as Sushi), and some of my personal favors are under the “Avoid” zone…and most of the “Good Alternative” I have never heard of. I didn’t ask the people working there if they had heard about the Sea WATCH or not because I think most of the cooks there don’t speak much English. I decided to avoid all the fishes listed on the guide, and try out some of the “Best Choice” …and the result is interesting to say the least.
I am not sure how many people will give up what they like to eat to help the world, and especially when you don’t come across Sushi every day. Normal people may be willing to buy change some normal eating diet base on the book when doing some weekend shopping, but it’s hard for them to change ordering food that they like when eating out unless their new favor food is in that “Best Choice” section.
