Hi Helen,
I love your cupcakes and can’t wait to see you soon!
Mio sushi is interested in bio-diversity or caring for the planet. They say they get their fish from sustainable resources… they don’t. They say their Salmon is wild, it isn’t, it’s farmed. They say they get their shrimp locally, they don’t it’s imported from Thailand. They also use very intense (have to wear rubber gloves to your elbows or it will a burn a layer off your skin) chemical cleaners and offer little room for franchise owners to make thier own decisons about what products they use. All in all Mio’s sushi knows all the right things to say to play to the Northwest sustainability crowd, but in truth, their practices do reflect a commitment to such. I know, I am a former employee and was appalled at what we said to customers vs. the truth.
*I mean they are not interested in bio-diversity…
