Thanks for posting this. Bittman gives an excellent presentation that offers a suitable context to this thread. He talks about the very things I was getting at. Everyone would do well to watch this before gathering their thoughts to post here.

Will, as Bittman points out, farmed fish have an issue in regards to terrible conditions. This is why most health advocates will suggest things such as wild Pacific salmon over anything else. Also, Will, did you choose to reduce beef and pork for health reasons or ecological reasons or both? Between the two of them, they have the greatest ecological impact in regard to their production.
