extremely popular fish farmed salmon after watching this video you may just
decide not to cook seafood ever again environmental issues a respected
norwegian environmental activist by the name of kurt oda Calv believes that the
farming of salmon is a disaster both for the environment and for human health
among the Norwegian fjords that contains salmon farms there is said to be a layer
of waste about 15 metres high consisting of bacteria drugs and
pesticides the sea floor is apparently destroyed and due to the sea farms being
situated in open water there is no way to contain the pollution as a result of
these farms upwards of 2 million salmon can't be held in crowded spaces with the
crowded conditions leading to disease that spreads rapidly through the
stressed salmon Oda calve reports that sea lice as well as infectious salmon
anemia virus has spread across Norway while consumers are not informed of the
fish pandemics and continue to purchase deceased fish toxins
despite fish always being known as healthy food Oda calve proclaims that
today's farmed salmon is one of the most toxic foods in the world jerome ruzhin a
toxicology researcher has confirmed these claims having tested a number of
different food groups sold in Norway for toxins
he has determined that farmed salmon contains the greatest amount of toxins
among them by an incredibly large margin it has been concluded that farmed salmon
is in fact five times more toxic than any other product tested harmful to
children and pregnant women dr. Anne lease Burt's Monson a prominent
biologist at the University of Bergen Norway stated I do not recommend
pregnant women children or young people eat farmed salmon it is uncertain in
both the amount of toxins salmon contain and how these drugs affect children
adolescents and pregnant women she adds that the contaminants detected in farmed
salmon have a negative effect on the brains development associated with
autism as well as having an effect on other organ systems in the body's immune
system and metabolism cancer according to living traditionally eating more than
one meal of farmed raised salmon in a month can increase your risk of
developing cancer in the future due to the salmon containing cancer-causing
chemicals and high levels of dioxins furthermore farmed salmon is also said
to provide your body with higher levels of inflammation which leads to many
diseases namely cancer diabetes arthritis and Alzheimer's the evidence
is conclusive that farmed salmon is essentially both damaging to our bodies
and the environment despite fish being one of the healthiest foods we can eat
we need to be mindful about choosing the right fish in the industrial age
documentaries continue to surface with facts and research that have people
thinking twice about consuming processed foods and any animal products as well
there are many great alternative fish and food choices that are handled in a
healthier way for our consumption and it's important to stay aware and
informed of what you eat and how it got to your plate it's safe to say that
oftentimes we overlook what is behind the food that is
in front of us with the growing movement of people straying away from animal
product consumption we are naturally beginning to learn more about why people
are cutting out this aspect of their diets filet-o-fish by director Nicolas
Daniels takes a critical look at the fishing industry investigating fish
farms and factories all over the world in an extensive initiative towards
educating people on the fish they consume though our perception of fishing
is rather romanticized according to healthy holistic living when it comes to
