[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate the thought OP but I eat salmon at least 2-3 times a week and I don't really distinguish between farm-raised or wild-caught.  I buy what looks good that day when I'm at the store.  I also eat canned tuna practically every day for lunch.  I'll keep you posted about how it all works out...fingers crossed for a good outcome!  I'm not being snarky, just realistic.[/quote]

I'm curious how you doing a possibly destructive and very unhealthy behavior is in any way an own on OP.

It would be like someone posting an article about smoking causing cancer and someone posting, "I appreciate the thought OP but I smoke a pack of cigarettes every day."  Okay?  You deciding to perpetuate unhealthy behavior is a reflection on you, not OP or the facts she presented. [/quote]

OP here. Thats for chiming in.....I think the poster you referenced is not so much making this about me as much as reflecting the general fatigue probably so many of us feel at finding out yet another thing we enjoy is bad for us.

But this is really much more than that. This is the equivelant of finding out the cigarette industry manipulated nictotine levels and hid the facts their own scientists knew about specific damage from their additives. We all know smoking is bad, but the how and the WHY is far more relevant because it reflects that we cannot trust industry, period.

In particular the food industry has loopholes that allow things to happen that should not. The toxin present in the feed for farmed fish is not supposed to be in the feed of ANY animal.

As a breast cancer survivor, I took note of the portion where they were advising women to NOT EAT SALMON to reduce their breast cancer recurrence risk because basically the old omega 3's in salmon that used to be good for us all are far eclipsed by the damage done to us from the other things.

Fish farming practices globally are BAD NEWS but where you find big money like in big fish such as salmon, its far worse than you know.

WATCH THE DOC, [/quote]

NP - I will watch the documentary, but further research is always needed with these.  Agenda driven documentaries are always inflammatory and do not always present truth in a scientifically sound way.  Not saying that this one is like that, but don't use documentaries as your only source.
