Why is this troubling? You can always go apple picking at an orchard if you want the fresh stuff. If you've been eating the year-old apples all your life and were none the wiser, why is it a problem now? If the quality has held up, and they were produced under good practices, then it shouldn't matter how old they are.

I want to always taste apples from heaven if I can. Is that so much to ask?

The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch list will tell you when to eat which fish, and where they should be sourced from. They update the list regularly, and as best as I can tell are doing a stellar job:

This bottom page wasn't missed. Added to OP. Thanks kind sir.

Yep. Added that too.

Speaking of fish, I love when I see bycatch on the menu. I worked with a fishmonger turned chef in the past who pretty much put several species of fish on the local restaurant map thanks to his preaching of the gospel of bycatch. Everything I google about bycatch comes with stern warnings about how unethical this is, but it seems like a great way to waste less when fishing and guarantee freshness for buyers.

Speaking of fish, you know why they're so healthy?

Spoiler: show: They eat fish.

Trag et al, here's a couple of profiles on bycatch and the chef I was talking about. Great dude.

Saw these eggs at the grocery store and took them on a test run with breakfast tacos. Fluffy eggs, nice yolk, local. Yet...no certified humane label. Oh dearie.

Well, that, and he's a Texan. We don't typically take too kindly to hippie regulations.

After watching the episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he ruins environmentalism, my fears about lack of access to a wide variety of fresh & ethical produce have returned.

Look at the top of page 2 in that thread -- I previously requested a merge but it was not honored! I have been a staunch supporter of the RM mods, but my patience is now at an end.
