A report has been released by researchers who follow celebrities, though not necessarily because they admire them.

Scientists at York University examined recipes from several chefs from 2007 to 2012 and found Nigella Lawson, as well as popular chefs like Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, using less than sustainable species in their dishes.

“My thing is this – everything has to be able to be done with some kind of commitment and passion, and some reason that isn’t blown out of proportion and taken for granted.”

Chuck D of Public Enemy during an interview with The Vine. Chuck eats a more sustainable diet by being a fish-eating vegetarian and he also is a human and animal rights activist.

If you follow the pescatarian diet, you should know, scientists have shown fish feel pain too. If you are still comfortable with your decision, please choose seafood wisely, eating only varieties that are not overfished and contain the least amount of unhealthy toxins like mercury.

Inspired by Lady Gaga’s meat attire, Private Practice actress Kate Walsh showed up for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno dressed in fish attire. From rings of sushi to prawn on the feet, Walsh dressed head to toe in imitation pieces of seafood. For the non-fish eating vegetarians, Walsh also stuck a few pieces of edamame on her body. There were no overfished species on the outfit, however, as she told the crowd.

“These are all totally sustainable fish, by the way. There’s no bluefin on here.”

Bluefin may be a popular fish used in sushi, but it’s being fished to extinction. Some have suggested replacing bluefin with Almaco jack, also known as kahala. Kahala is a distant relative of bluefin, but without the reddish hue and reproduces constantly throughout the year without hormones or environmental manipulations.

The fact that Lea Michele calls herself a vegan, but still occasionally eats fish does annoy. After all, we’re only asking that she use to word pescatarian and avoid the Eco-Worst ones.

However, the Glee actress doesn’t consume Charlie without guilt, as Ok! magazine reported her as saying, “I feel bad about it because fish are animals too.”

Michele has previously stated the reason for her fishy breath was due to protein issues, but we can mouth off several dozen that don’t swim.

Any suggestions?
