The last sardine cannery in the U.S. has shut down. That’s a lot of jobs. It’s interesting that despite many years of popularity, the sardine population remains robust. Sardines are also a mega-healthfood, rich in Omega 3, B12, and other good things, but low enough on the food chain that they won’t have much mercury. There is, of course, a foodie sardine blog but I guess it wasn’t enough to turn the tide. I’m sure the laid-off cannery workers can go work in a macaron factory or something.—Snacktime
