Global study of salmon shows: ‘Sustainable’ food isn’t so sustainable | Science Blog – Fish should swim, not fly. Air-freighting salmon, and any food, results in substantial increases in environmental impacts. If more frozen food were consumed, more container ships would be used to ship food. Container ships are by far the most efficient and carbon-friendly way to transport food. Globally, the majority of salmon fillets are currently consumed fresh and never frozen. In fish-loving Japan, which gets much of its fish by air, switching to 75 percent frozen salmon would have more benefit than all of Europe eating locally farmed salmon.

Davido’s is situated just about as far north as you can go in Rio Rancho before you’re on Santa Ana Pueblo. Heretofore, the good citizens of this outpost had to drive several miles to placate their pizza fixes with the good stuff–or they could have “pizza” delivered by nearby chains Pizza Hut, Little Caesar’s and Domino’s. Pizza pundits now have a real choice–a good one.
