Stores and sustainable seafood...

Greenpeace recently released its annual report ranking the country's largest grocery stores in terms of their seafood sustainability. Northeastern favorite Wegman's scored the highest. Others such as Whole Foods were not a surprise. North Carolina based Harris Teeter and Food Lion ranked No. 6 and 8, respectively.

But the shocker for me was Trader Joe's, which ranked toward the bottom of the list at No. 17.
