Fish Farms

Most of the fish that people are eating is not actually from the wild. Farming fish has become quite popular but studies have been showing negative effects for the environment. Its looking like farmed fish may actually harm both wild fish and the people who consume the farmed fish. Farmed fish usually test higher for levels of toxins as compared to those of wild fish.

Conditions at fish farms are not ideal either. Often enough, thousands of fish are packed into a small area and have to swim around with dirt and fecal matter. That makes me lose my appitite! I definitely question what is being pumped into these fish and the water they live in. I have serious doubts about a lot of the foods I eat now a days. From fish to vegetables to meat, I feel like it is so pumped up with chemicals that it is harmful for me! The more I read on this issue, the more I am willing to pay the higher prices for organic foods.
