...well I kind of gave up on the sardines three years ago when I learned that America's last sardine cannery (and my favorite brand) was closing.

And I gave up red meat in 2012 and haven't felt better. Besides, the future of ''red'' meat doesn't appeal to me in the least.

- I'm still eating fish on occasion, but everyone waits until I Geiger it first! Seriously.
