And I have done that.

We, as a Nation trash so much good food to keep prices high.
Now they want to feed trash food sources to the poor?
This is wrong in so many ways that I'm just beside myself as to what to think!

Snook is a species of fish (and also a US WWII submarine but I digress). During the war when cod was hard to come by, many UK fish and chip shops replaced cod with snook or other such cod substitutes.
Like you say, it was better than starving.

Very true....and considered a worthy replacement by people as I recall.
