[Poll #1241007]

(I'm asking about the nature of the substance, not the process that led to it: I'm not asking whether you'll eat battery chickens or baby-killing coffee.)

I'll avoid endangered animals, and if presented the choice, i will choose local food, and sanely produced food. I am also pondering my consumption of high-level predators (for example, tuna).

According to the Marine Ecologists I've spoken to, avoiding tuna is a pretty good idea for conservation reasons generally - the big net things are pretty effective at destroying a multitude of other species, and even line-fished tuna isn't ideal because the long lines also kill albatross. :(

(This makes me sad as I love the taste of tuna, but don't want to be enjoying it at the expense of albratrosses...)
