    I love salmon

    I also know that conservation is key and if fishing is impacting them, then it’s best to go a period without salmon

      It only impacts the wild caught industry as well, farm raised salmon will still be readily available. Atlantic salmon has never had a commercial season for wild salmon in my lifetime because we would wipe them out in a single season, so it’s not that different from them.

      People will just have to become more cognizant of where their fish is coming from. Avoid salmon from inshore farms if you can, the offshore farms are the best quality of life for the fish and have a nice fat content to them for extra flavor due to the better access to food compared to wild fish.

        You know what’s wild? That we feed roughly 9 billion people… Daily… Every day. Every. Single. Day.

        Even if we cut out the malnourished or rationed people, we are feeding in excess at least 300 million in the US. I can’t accurately understand that number of mouths to feed vs the wild. We are absolute savages and don’t even understand it. We consume animals like zombies.

          you know what’s REALLY wild? When I was a kid, there were roughly 4.5 billion people to feed every day. I’m not that old, but the global population has doubled in my lifetime. Crazy.

          On top of that, the US throws out something like…40% (I think?) of the food we produce. And a significant portion of that is food that has a long shelf-life in order to cycle out branding/labels.
