The Sardines Puttanesca recipe has sardines in the ingredients but not in the instructions. Perhaps it’s a garnish with the mint leaves? 🙂

….The evolutionary step of eating meat rather than vegetation was what provided our ancestors with the evolutionary advantage over our competitors. Meat has a higher caloric content than vegetation and provided our ancestors with the energy needed for advanced brain development.

(Interestingly, the second evolutionary step of cooking meat rather than eating it raw (which came around 250,000 years ago) fulfilled the same purpose as the first evolutionary step of eating meat in the first place: cooking meat makes it easier to eat and increases its caloric content). So, if we hadn’t learned to cook and eat meat, we wouldn’t be here today!

The ONLY reason people can survive on a purely vegetarian or vegan diet, is because of the abundance of food which is available to us (mainly due to our step from hunter gatherers, to farming and agriculture around 10,000 years ago) and, a vastly networked international food distribution chain.

So, if you want to talk about what is “natural”,if anything eating meat and cooking it is more “natural” than living on a purely vegetarian or vegan diet; a feat only made possible by our very modern “supply chain dependent” lifestyle.

If you genuinely care you won’t eat any at all. All of the nutrients derived from fish, and from animals in general, can be obtained more healthfully, humanely, and environmentally responsibly from plant sources, including the many marvelous vegan versions there are of virtually every type of seafood (and other foods) imaginable: http://www.FishFeel.org/seafood
