Both of them have made a comeback in recent years. But seriously, I think that maybe soylent green made from hippies could be reformulated to taste like maguro. Why not do something like protest animal rights in China or dogs being eaten in Korea? Maguro can't thank you like a pekinese can. Well, maguro could always be substituted by panda or koala.

In which case it makes sense to stop exploiting the resource earlier and allow stocks to regrow. Of course this is difficult for people to understand, and leads to the tragedy of the commons.
