Free holier-than-thou sushi kit from the Monterey Aquarium.

Honestly, I'm sure it was well-intentioned, but this freebie just sounds obnoxious. So you go into a sushi restaurant, whip out your own biodegradable, reusable chopsticks from your pocket and disdainfully push aside the disposables at your place setting; you "engage your sushi chef in a conversation about seafood and ask questions that will help you avoid items on the red list"; and you litter a trail of seafood-awareness cards and brochures in your wake when you leave. Seriously, Monterey Bay Aquarium? Because that sounds like an express ticket to Spit-in-your-foodsville.

Let this be a lesson to all of us that the words "sushi kit," exciting though they may seem at first, don't necessarily mean it's something fun.
