The delightful image above is an original oil painting titled "Salmon Run" and is created by Flying Cat Studio.Imagine for a moment, happy healthy salmon swimming along having a jolly good time (like the ones pictured above) and all of a sudden a mammoth-sized monstrous genetically-engineered salmon comes zooming near eating all of the normal healthy salmon...think this a fairytale? Think again, this is really happening!
In celebration of this Good Nutrition Month of November, I am exposing the truth about genetically-engineered salmon. Please check out these articles about this pressing health issue:

It is so important to recognize the difference between farm-raised and wild fish. Plus, there are other (even better) sources for healthful Omega 3 fish oils: like sardines that have a lower incidence of mercury contamination because of their smaller size. Sardines are actually the majority of what wild salmon have in their diets; instead of genetically modified corn, which is what farm-raised fish are fed. Also the amount of Omega 3 fish oil is greater per serving in sardines, and often more affordable than salmon too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic input Andy! I LOVE sardines...they are so delicious and full of essential fats and oils! Like you mentioned, they have relatively low mercury levels which is very important.
ReplyDeleteHowever, regarding the genetically-engineered "Frankenfish" salmon...we better watch out...eww, you are right about them being fed corn; that is definitely not normal for a salmon's diet.
