I was watching a show last night called Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on the Discovery Channel. The show was highlighting some of the weird foods consumed in Japan, from live frog hearts to lizard sake. Anyways, the food had several info-graphics that popped up throughout the show. Most were interesting, but one caught my eye stating that Japan consumes 1/3 of the world's seafood. Now to put that into perspective, Japan has a population of roughly 130 million vs. the global 6 billion+ (for any math majors out there, that is roughly 2% of global population).
I knew that this was "fishy," pardon the pun, so I checked out the data and uploaded it to Swivel. Turns out, Japan is the largest consumer of fish, but it doesn't appear to have 1/3 of global consumption just looking at the per capita consumption.
Fight bad facts with good facts people. That is all I ask.
