Salmon Safe: Thank God

[EternalFantasies]

The EPA made a surprise move that could protect the world's largest salmon fishery

In a surprise reversal, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it is withdrawing its plan to suspend environmental protections for an area of Alaska that is home to the world's most valuable wild salmon fishery.

The EPA proposed last year to "reverse clean water safeguards" for the Bristol Bay watershed, paving the way for a massive gold and copper mine to be built in the region.
The controversial proposal would have canceled an EPA protection put in place during the Obama administration. After years of study, the EPA found in 2014 that a mine "would result in complete loss of fish habitat" in some areas of the bay, and that "all of these losses would be irreversible."

I've never cared for salmon. Sam's Club is full of it and it looks so good. It's probably even good for you. But it tastes like ass.

I like gold and copper too.

It's a conundrum.

Let me see, which river(s) did the EPA last poison...,



... it wasn't in Alaska.

You've probably tasted the farmed one only? Did you know it's orange color is artificial? They add it in the food. The whole farmed salmon is a semi gross affair. It's why people need to order Wild Salmon only, or choose something else so restaurants get the message.

It's a step in the right direction...

Wild pacific salmon does a 3000+ mile trip every year and feeds an entire eco-system down that coast. The whole system is at risk.

The lice from salmon farms are killing wild salmon's eggs, and numbers keep going down... .

 

[WoundedKnee]

If you want to preserve it, put it on the menu. When it hits the price of kobe beef, then people will stop eating it and populations will rebound. I think that farmed fish are just fine. Whatever keeps the Chinese carp out of my fish is fine with me.

I'd rather have crappie. There's some up the road.

They tried that in reverse to lower the populations of Asian carp, but, it also tastes like ass.

 

[WoundedKnee]

All carp tastes like ass. Ask anyone who has taken the goldfish challenge in their college days.

I grew up on carp. A 15 pound carp goes a long way. The loser gets the mud vein. Mind the bones.

 

[WoundedKnee]

We used carp as fertilizer. Better to eat the catfish out of the Kaw and Missouri.

That's because you've never had it cooked right, over an open Alder fire.

Depends on the farmers....

As with most livestock if they are well kept it's fine, if not you might as well just go get a McDiddles because it's probably less toxic.

Old indian trick- throw a fish in with the maize seeds.

I think it makes a huge difference if you are currently starving.

Most farmers want to profit. Unhealthy sif are not a profit.

Did you say Injun? Senator Warren is pissed! The correct term, when appropriated, is "Native American."

I struggle with "appropriate".

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yup, and they will sell the uninformed masses anything they can to get it.

Unhealthy sif are not a profit.

That's been proven repeatedly to be a total fallacy.

If they can get paid they will sell you food loaded with all sorts of toxic shit.

And for the most part people don't care as long as they get a tasty meal for cheap.

 

[WoundedKnee]

sif? I wonder what the hell I was trying to type in my haste.

If your contention is that small independent "farmers" will sell you ditch-weed, I agree. On the corporate level, the brand is more important than a quick profit.

 

[WoundedKnee]

I struggle with "appropriate".

Good lord, talk about handing a jackass a straight line.


Of course you do.

Perhaps and perhaps an educated palate is required.

Unless it is a donkey. Of course, I've never eaten donkey, so I don't know if it tastes like an ass.

I will defer to your judgement because I'm sure you are an expert in that area.
