Take the following as truth: Mintz dismisses our regional cuisines--New England, Southern, Cajun, Pennsylvania Dutch--because they have been ruined by the environmental impact of overfishing local stocks, and by ferocious marketing that dilutes their authenticity and ends in bowdlerization.
Then the following statement: "The local fish stocks have been depleted, thanks to overfishing." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
