oh jesus, I remember Wil Shipley from Things White People Like.
Wil Shipley, a Seattle software developer, uses his iPhone at the Whole Foods fish counter to check websites for updates on which seafood is the most environmentally correct to purchase. He quizzes the staff on where and how a fish was caught. Because he carries the Internet with him, “I can be super-picky,†he said.
cute comic, though
I fail to see what's wrong with being aware of the environmental impact of the food you eat and choosing accordingly
I'm not telling you to do likewise, but it seems rather crass for you to insult someone for caring about actually trying to reduce their impact on the environment

You say 'caring' I say 'being anal'

You say 'caring' I say 'being anal'
yeah, from your perspective it's being anal because you don't give a shit
still bullshit to criticize someone for actually wanting to try and make the world a little better or at least not as bad as if they didn't bother
my god, he's such a fucking toolbag how dare he!
edit: fuck you wren, I never said that
I'm just saying the guy doesn't deserve to be ridiculed because he actually cares about where his food comes from, but thanks for attributing an opinion to me I don't actually hold

You can mock people for going to such extremes that their effort does not match their rewards.

I reiterate, I'm not criticizing those of you that don't "eat greener" so to speak. I can absolutely understand that many people don't think it's important, don't have the time, or don't have the money to spend on "greener" food. I'm calling out those of you that are so immature as to ridicule someone who is willing to do so in attempt to leave the world a little better off.

yes pip, that's a valid point in and of itself
but then we all use similar gadgets and he wasn't being ridiculed for using an iphone
he was being ridiculed for caring about where the fish he buys comes from
so he could be the same dude using the same iphone and not caring where his fish comes from, or he can use his iphone and do all the other things he does that have a negative impact on the environment, and at least be aware of and make choices based on where his food comes from and at least make that small difference
and somehow I'm the asshole for defending Shipley's shopping choices
Whether he picks it or not, it already came from there. It's not like they can say "whoops, overfished it, let's throw it back"
Yeah, but the idea is that if enough people are vocal about where their food came from, perhaps others will start to take notice and not overfish in the first place.
The consumers drive the market. More consumers paying attention to where their food comes from is in fact changing the market. This is a simple fact. Again, if you don't care that's your business but it's naive to claim that consumers don't have any impact with their choices.

It does matter, but again I can respect if you don't care. I don't respect someone ridiculing such a choice though.
Well, you are creating a strawman to disrespect. I don't think I said anything about the choice to live greener per se. Going into a health-food store and quizzing the employees while busting out an iphone to cross-check their answers is a little much. Bonus points for the comment "Because I carry the internet, I can be super-picky!" There is something absolutely absurd about being so concerned about the location of where the fish were fished that you are worried that the information has somehow changed from when you left to go shopping and when you got to the store. It is, in a word, being anal.

I don't know... the Whole Foods I go to has all the fish labelled with where it was caught/etc... Whipping out your e-penis and grilling some min-wage clerk about all the nitty gritty details seems like kind of a dick move, but it wouldn't really be unusual in that place... lol you should hear some of the stuff customers ask... I'm sure they are used to it.

because if he's such a self-assured prick now, I can hardly imagine him as a teenager
This is almost as satisfying as being on the same side of an argument as Defender.
