“Ah, the tagliatelle, so sorry, we just ran out.” The waiter sighs with feigned regret. Well then, the choice is made for you. “In that case, I’ll have the roast chicken.”

Off the coast of Peru, a net gathers up an entire shoal of anchovy over several miles, and with them a few dolphins and manta rays who were busy eating their fill. A sweep of 1,600 metric tons, that ought to bring a nice profit. No matter if the net crushes them, no one’s going to eat them. Rich in bones and bitter-tasting fat, Peruvian anchovies aren’t suited for our palates, but they have the advantage of living in large shoals, easy to target on the industrial scale. Back on shore they’ll be ground into flour. To feed battery chickens.
