Radioactive bluefin tuna crossed the Pacific to US

50. Bad enough that we eat everything on the planet...

Why do we eat these magnificent creatures? Because "they taste good" is insufficient reason.

Commercial hunting of most wildlife was banned or severely restricted a long time ago in the U.S.A.

Passenger pigeons are extinct because we ate them and destroyed their natural habitat.

Now the same is happening to ocean species.

It would be a perversely positive development if people stopped eating tuna for fear of radioactive contamination. But this seems unlikely, given that tuna are already contaminated with mercury and other potent toxins humans have dumped in the oceans.
