She didn't realize that one type of fish can be good or bad, depending on location (atlantic vs pacific). She said she'll try to be more conscientious on that. She also feels badly, because she likes to go fishing in Michigan and eats the trout and sturgeon when she catches it. Boy, Mommy has a lot of learning to do on this subject.Apollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577226951637586333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-115959610925128902010-02-22T10:53:14.137-06:002010-02-22T10:53:14.137-06:00I didn't know that but then again we don't...I didn't know that but then again we don't have a trader joe's here in BC, or canada I think.<br /><br />I try my best to buy fresh fish from certain stores or my friend, who's husband works for a fishing boat. <br /><br />About my veggies.. i use the netted produce bags, i love them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-23542503913925663152010-02-20T14:09:08.807-06:002010-02-20T14:09:08.807-06:00Hi Mushu's mom!

Mom and Dad visited there last Labor Day and they loved it. Mom showed me the video of the jellyfish and I was blown away. They are so cool!<br /><br />Thanks for all the info on Seafood Watch program. Mom and Dad visited the aquarium with friends that are big time seafood eaters. Mom showed them the card and explained how to use it. The friends consulted the card all weekend when ordering seafood. Yeah!<br /><br />Mom told me she knew about the iphone app but she doesn't have it on her phone because she doesn't need it.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stop by again.<br /><br />Stubby xoxoStubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962192098832384295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-3304009253181964982010-02-20T14:02:09.576-06:002010-02-20T14:02:09.576-06:00Hi Melissa & Emmitt!

That seems so strange since they seem like they would really fit in there.<br /><br />I agree that there are probably other stores that practice these deceptive practices. Eventually the word get out about all stores, so I'll keep my eyes open.<br /><br />Stubby xoxoStubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962192098832384295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-46420732409574297872010-02-20T13:59:37.734-06:002010-02-20T13:59:37.734-06:00Hi Pearly Poo!

There are so many decisions to be made every day regarding food choices that it all gets very confusing. Aren't you glad we're pugs?

We weren't sending any bad vibes or anything, I promise. <br /><br />I wonder if recycled plastic is available to make the next batch of Flat Puglets. We don't have a plastic machine like you do.<br /><br />The poor fish worry me like crazy. A lot of them live very long lives if humans leave them alone, which of course they don't. I'm glad you don't eat fish.<br /><br />Stubby xoxoStubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962192098832384295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-59308889670401776302010-02-20T00:36:16.921-06:002010-02-20T00:36:16.921-06:00Puglet is right. You are a wise pug, Stubby! Tha...Puglet is right. You are a wise pug, Stubby! Thanks for alerting us to this problem. I do like Trader Joe's, but I'm a firm believer in sustainability--especially when it comes to seafood. As a former volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I was present when the first Seafood Watch cards were introduced. I love to see how far they've come since then. They truly are handy for those of us that are seriously concerned about the health of our oceans. The nice thing about the Seafood Watch program is that it is a work in progress. The staff constantly updates the information adding and moving species to the appropriate lists. It is nice to know that there are indeed many "green" options to choose from. We, the consumer, really can (and do) make a difference. Stubby, you and your mom are making that difference by bringing awareness to the situation. Thank you! <br />FYI: MBA also has a free Seafood Watch iPhone/iPod app. Anyone with one of these devices can have the latest versions of all the regional guides (and the sushi guide!) in their pocket wherever they are!!<br /><br />-Mushu's momNoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528888969125504483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-14600041280732126812010-02-19T23:32:14.617-06:002010-02-19T23:32:14.617-06:00hi stubby!

When we were making Flat Puglets my human said she could feel her cringing about his plastic-ness... all the way from Chicagoland!<br /><br />I think her worrying is a good thing though because the stuff she worries about is important. And the stuff she writes about makes people think. <br /><br />Like the poor fishes. I heard on NPR that Orange Roughy can live to be 149! But not if we eat them :(<br /><br />~ puglet<br /><br />PS. sorry about the plastic.THE PUGLEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795474081471390586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-86173898665739417752010-02-18T21:00:03.444-06:002010-02-18T21:00:03.444-06:00Hi Stella, Gunther & Betty!

Mom doesn't eat fish and Dad rarely eats fish so they were in the dark about this issue.<br /><br />The plastic on the produce makes Mom crazy. She has serious issues with plastic use anyway but unnecessary use is enough to drive her to drink.<br /><br />Stubby xoxoStubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962192098832384295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-31912814931883020102010-02-18T20:37:11.641-06:002010-02-18T20:37:11.641-06:00Hmmm, Stubby.

They think they're funny, we just humor them. <br /><br />The parents are always reminding us that we're pretty lucky to live in Morro Bay, which is a fishing community. So they gets their fish right off the boats. The fishermen always grumble about the Traitor Hoe stuff. <br /><br />The produce isn't much better. Dad knows all about that. Course we gots all the farmer's markets around here too... <br /><br />The parents won't give up the Traitor Hoe's chocolates though!<br /><br />Love,<br />Stella, Gunther and BettySmushie Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228709678140218512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963881331505446717.post-50207823364039307842010-02-18T19:48:06.452-06:002010-02-18T19:48:06.452-06:00Aw man Stubby...Mom really doesn't want to be ...Aw man Stubby...Mom really doesn't want to be mad at Trader Joes, but we agree that the fish situation isn't good.

I shop at Trader Joe's for their nuts, mostly, maybe picking up something else from time to time, but I've never gotten fish there. I have looked at their produce, but, you're right about all the plastic wrap. What's up with that?? Thanks for the heads up. I can always count on you to keep us updated on the best way to be good to the planet. Thanks also for your kind words on my bloggie. I'm feeling a bit better, though I still miss little Rainy.
