Wow. Amazing that there are people left who still defend and work in that industry, locally.

Jun 10,2013 Scientists warn against eating farmed salmon


I think that this is pretty scary...

"I do not recommend pregnant women, children or young people to eat farmed salmon. It is uncertain in both the amount of toxins salmon contain, and how these drugs affect children, adolescents and pregnant, says specialist Anne-Lise Birch Monsen clinical department at Haukeland University Hospital of VG.
She points out that the type of contaminants that have been detected in farmed salmon, has a negative effect on brain development and is associated with autism, AD / HD and reduced IQ.

I agree..My girlfriend was almost sick to her stomach after watching salmon confidential for the first time last night and realizing that she in fact had been eating it in sushi. Farmed fish has no place on this coast,if i can be safely farmed on land so be it,Maybe have it farmed on land in Norway..oh wait they don't want it either now...

It always worries me when the World Health Organization sets the limits for the amount of poison you can eat safely...
