What Do You Know About the Fish You're Eating?

Eating fresh fish is a staple in my diet.  It's healthy, leaves me feeling nourished and full of energy. However, what do we really know about the fish we're eating or for that matter our food?

Many articles are posted regarding fish farming, the treatment of fish, their feed and the effects on humans who consume these fish.  Delving into these articles can be nauseating, yet, eye-opening and informative.

However, there's no need to be kept in the dark wondering if the fish you're digesting is good or not.  The Monterey Bay Aquarium offers a Seafood Watch that recommends which seafood to buy or avoid, helping consumers and businesses to become advocates for ocean-friendly seafood. You can get their recommendations online, in printed pocket guides, or on your mobile devices.

There's more to fish than just purchasing it though.  Wouldn't you like to know how it's being produced or if it's genetically engineered?

How bad can it be?  Watch this brief video!

To learn more about genetically engineered salmon, fish farming, food, water and so much more check out the Food & Water Watch site.  View the Issues at hand, Tools & Resources, Blog, and how you can Take Action in helping or simply receive updates.

Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Browsing this site is a great place to start, with links to so many other important issues.

It's imperative to be aware, to know what you're eating and what you're feeding your family. If you have an opinion make it count by Taking Action! 

Note: I realize many of  you are well aware of these facts but maybe some are new to you.  For those of you unfamiliar with this subject matter, I hope you'll take the time to explore the links I've provided.
