Why I get to eat king crabs

January 6, 2008

Here’s a nice nugget from Walter Williams from his most recent weekly column:

I think it’s wonderful that Alaskan king crab fishermen take the time and effort, often risking their lives in the cold Bering Sea, to catch king crabs that I enjoy. Do you think they make that sacrifice because they care about me? I’m betting they don’t give a hoot about me. They make it possible for me to enjoy king crab legs because they want more money for themselves. How much king crab would I, and millions of others, enjoy if it all depended on human love and kindness?
