This is the kind of thing that just baffles me.

It's a meta story. The real story is about missing the big picture in several ways at once.

So when I said that this stuff misses the big picture....

QuoteIt is this high demand on wild stocks which has left seahorse on the endangered list, with seahorse fisheries reporting a minimum decline of 50% in fisheries over the last five years. Through our research we have discovered that seahorses will become extinct in the next 20 – 30 years. Are we going to sit back and let seahorses become the dinosaurs of our generation?

But at least Frito is doing well
