WILD OR FARMED SALMON

While salmon is often recommended as part of a healthy diet, there’s an ongoing debate about whether farmed salmon is actually good for you.

Fish farming has devastating consequences on our oceans and I won’t support the industry. Don’t be fooled by the organic label, farmed salmon has no dietary benefits. You might as well eat the packaging for all the good farmed salmon will do for you. Restaurants that advertise fresh, organic salmon are using farmed salmon. Otherwise the magic word would be "wild".

Farmed fish is bad for the water supply, and the oceans.  In British Columbia where the pacific salmon’s life cycle begins and ends, salmon is a vital part of the ecosystem, indeed the salmon is the sustenance of our forests. The salmon, the wildlife and the trees are all interdependent.
