Save the ocean! Eat sushi!

The California Sea Urchin Commission is saying that the growing popularity of sushi in the United States may help to restore seaweed beds, which have been slowly vanishing along the California coastline.

According to the commission, sea urchins, or uni, feed on kelp. By feeding on the uni, sushi lovers help to cut down on the sea urchin population and preserve the seaweed that is an important part of the California coastal ecosystem.

It would help if uni tasted a lot better.

Seriously, I eat anything.

Heather Meadows Said:

Ewww, yeah. The time I tried uni, it was like trying to eat squirt cheese, except I couldn’t seem to swallow it for the longest time. Meanwhile, I had to endure the not-so-pleasant taste. Bleck.

I think American tastebuds have been ruined by the glut of junk food, so that the only two appealling tastes are sweet, fat or salty. Unless we are talking about the “healthy eating” group, who are manily attracted by tastelessness and indigestability.

Meanwhile, Heather, I have never heard of Squirt cheese, though the very phrase causes me to lose my appetite!

Pass the uni,please.

R. Numbskull Said:

I agree with that, ghoti. But I’ve only tried it once, and there are just some things that I don’t like, but not much. I could give it a second chance, but I probably still won’t like it…or maybe I will.

I think the only thing I can positively say I don’t like are animal organs. Liver, heart, intesting or whatever. They’re usually just really average or f***ing gross (liver).
