Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Did some more Wikipedia reading on salmon:

Though it has the least amount of methylmercury of all the fishes, farmed salmon may contain higher levels of dioxins and PCBs, and lower amounts of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

Great. :sweat:

Rule of thumb is that the vast majority of Atlantic salmon available on the world market is farmed (greater than 99%), whereas the majority of Pacific salmon is wild-caught (greater than 80%)...

im currently snacking on said chicken strips.. oh yeah.. feel the grease baby..

Never developed a taste for gari, either. :ashamed:

Too piquant.

You only eat gari to flush one fish taste to prepare for another.

I didn't believe it when I read it in Wikipedia.

How can salmon raised in a controlled environment be exposed to dioxins and PCBs?? Completely negates the one of the points of farm-raising salmon... :headscratch: :shakehead:

Guh, I am getting so much closer to being vegan.

Of course, the veggies are exposed to chemical fertilizers and pesticides.... :bleh:

Sheesh. *gives up, reaches for a double-double with cheese*
