The Fish on my Plate.

CyclistCyclist Posts: 23,340 AG
Best-selling author and lifelong fisherman Paul Greenberg spends a year eating fish at breakfast, lunch and dinner to help answer the question: “What fish should I eat that’s good for me and good for the planet?”

Watched it last night. Pretty interesting. 1.5 hours. Interesting and scary.

    China’s Appetite Pushes Fisheries to the Brink

    Overfishing is depleting oceans across the globe, with 90 percent of the world’s fisheries fully exploited or facing collapse, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. From Russian king crab fishermen in the west Bering Sea to Mexican ships that poach red snapper off the coast of Florida, unsustainable fishing practices threaten the well-being of millions of people in the developing world who depend on the sea for income and food, experts say.

    The idea that Omega 3's make you healthy is probably bunk. There are very few sustainable fisheries, filter feeders (farm raised mussels, clams, oysters) and Alaskan wild salmon are two...

    that's why we need GMO's.... like frankenfish.
    Don't worry, Monsanto has this all under control. You just keep consuming.
    Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon... No matter how good you are, the bird is going to crap on the board and strut around like it won anyway.
