Pick up a few bags of fish sticks at the grocery store this afternoon.
Fish sticks may seem harmless, but the tiny food is creating a huge carbon footprint.
A new study has found that transforming Alaskan Pollock into fish sticks, imitation crab and fish fillets generates nearly twice the greenhouse gas emissions produced by fishing itself.
The team noted that catching the fish is a 'relatively fuel-efficient fishery', but then it is shipped in massive containers which burn poor-quality bunker fuel that produces high levels of sulfur particles.
And I don't even like fish sticks that much. Maybe I'll get some more imitation crab instead.

Never fear, the people who created the impossible burger for BK are working on impossible fish sticks and impossible chicken nuggets.
I don't eat fish unless the batter is at least 1/4" thick and it's crispy and further disguised by lots of ranch dressing LOL....but I may have to get some fish sticks now.
Alas, on keto I can't have fish sticks any more, but that imitation crab is great for salads in the summer.
You can find "studies" at the Daily Mail to prove almost anything, especially if it's from environmental activists.
