Huffington Post: The High Cost Of Seafood Fraud (INFOGRAPHIC)

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 09:50 AM PDT

Americans now eat 50 percent more seafood than they did 50 years ago, according to a new report by Oceana [pdf] that details the cost of seafood fraud on consumers' wallets. But although people are eating more seafood, one-third of it may not be what it seems, based on a different Oceana report from earlier this year.

The group interviewed seafood industry experts to figure out what drives cost differences and reviewed 300 menus from 12 different cities to estimate retail prices for various seafood products.

"Swapping a lower cost fish for a higher value one is like ordering a filet mignon and getting a hamburger instead," said report author and Oceana senior scientist Margot Stiles in a press release. "If a consumer eats mislabeled fish even just once a week, they could be losing up to hundreds of dollars each year due to seafood fraud."

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) dismissed the concern over global warming, labeling it a "religion" and claiming efforts to address climate change are useless.

"It is not proven, it's not science," King said Tuesday, according to The Messenger of Fort Dodge, Iowa. "It's more of a religion than a science."

The congressman spoke at a Fort Dodge event sponsored by the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity. King said he thought environmentalists should focus on the positive aspects of the earth heating up due to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, instead of harping on the negatives.
