AIDS, Nile Perch, Mass Extinctions, Prostitution, and Pilots from the Ukraine

What's the connection?  Well, if you eat Nile Perch, you are contributing to AIDS, mass extinctions, prostitution, and grimy Ukrainian pilots (no offense to all the Ukranian readers).  The Nile Perch was introduced to Lake Victoria (this is apparently the birthplace of mankind) in Africa about 50 years ago.  Since then, the species has caused the extinction of 100's of fish species.  It is a huge predator and is the sole source of income for many fishing villages in Tanzania.  Unfortunately, these villages are extremely poor and the fishermen get close to nothing for their hard work.  

The documentary Darwin's Nightmare showcases the tragedies in the region.  Nearly all the women and girls are subject to prostitution, AIDS spreads quicker than butter, and dirty, fat Ukrainian pilots who fly out the fish get to bang any Tanzanian woman they want.  It is a really depressing documentary, but definitely worth checking out.  See http://www.darwinsnightmare.com/darwin/html/startset.htm for more, and don't eat Nile Perch unless it's on sale for at least 25% off.
