Sticking to your principles

[Skandi]

This is half question and half rant...

I went to make a fish pie tonight, and got some smoked haddock and normal haddock out of the freezer, I had purchased these earlier in the week from the fish counter of sainsburys (both heavily reduced) Well on opening the Haddock I noticed that it looked a bit odd, after checking up on it I realised that it wasn't haddock at all but Cod. And hence the title of this thread. I don't eat cod, not because I don't like it but because it is badly overfished, and the only way to stop supply is to remove demand.

But now I was faced with to conflicting principles
1, I don't eat cod
2, I don't throw food away

So what to do? Well I figured that I might as well eat it, it's already bought the damage has been done and there is no point in throwing it away, in fact that would be even worse than eating it.

Have you ever had a situation where two of your principles collide? what would/did you do?

The cod has already been fished & is in your possession. Eat it. Not eating it just means the cod died for nothing.

I don't eat fish or other seafood. The Crying Indian public service announcements (along with other enviromental films shown at school with dead fish floating in polluted waters) from the early 70s turned me off to fish. I considered it to be sewer food.

Well concerning food I only have the principle it had to be moving at some point... but principles in general..


Well I usually stick to two principles
1. En bra karl reder sig själv. Means a good man does not need help.
2. I don't lie, which is the principle that has gotten me into the most trouble, I may keep information away and tell it in an other light but real lies I do not concern my self with.

When I was 18, I went out with a bloke who was interested in Aleister Crowley. Looking back, he could've been a Thelemite and I didn't know an awful lot about it all, but I had a deep-seated dislike for Crowley.

A man with whom I want to be - oh irony of ironies - is a Thelemite! I've learned a lot more about the Thelemic order since then, but I haven't quite shaken off the dislike I still have for Crowley, especially when that ex attempted to psychically curse me years later because I refused to get back with him.
