“I never eat farmed salmon, always get wild caught salmon.”

yeah, we kept getting ill eating farmed shrimp and farmed salmon ... we thought it was just us until a friend said the same thing ...

shrimp are farmed in mud puddles doused with massive amounts of chemicals and antibiotics until the puddles become too toxic to reuse again, in which case they are abandoned and new, fresh mud puddles are dug ...

farmed seafood contains zero omega 3 fatty acids unless fed wild caught fish meal ... but almost all farmed fish are just fed corn meal ... farmed salmon have to be fed a chemical to turn them pink, because the food they’re fed doesn’t contain the natural colorant compounds ...

most farmed seafood is unhealthy ... there are some exceptions, mostly farms in natural ocean estuaries, such as oyster farming and yellowtail farming ...

That Celebrity Jeopardy series of skits from SNL is classic, back when that show was actually still funny… and that portrayal of Bjork is accurate.

and who can forget “Burt Reynolds” as “Turd Ferguson”…

“Sean Connery”’s insults were hilarious.

Yeah I’d say most people would choose wild caught salmon over farmed salmon.

Bjork is worried about the environmental impact of farmed salmon, and also the cruelty. Those strike me as leftwingy objections but I do find it interesting that she cites the foreign ownership. Makes me wonder if these are unethically run Chinese operations.

Not everyone can afford wild fish or cake.

AI Overview, but nonetheless

"Let them eat cake" is a phrase attributed to Marie Antoinette, supposedly said when told that the peasants had no bread. However, historical evidence shows she never uttered the line; it's a piece of propaganda from the French Revolution that highlights the disconnect between the aristocracy and the poor. The original French phrase was likely "qu'ils mangent de la brioche" (let them eat brioche), a rich bread, not cake.

One of my favorite moments from SNL’s Jeopardy was right after one of the Sean Connery jibes — Trebek says, “I hate my job.”

Eating farmed fish is a terrible idea. Inferior in nutrients. And who knows what the fish farmers feed them?

But massive Asian based commercial trawler armadas that net everything in their path is a better environmental solution?

She made a truly unique music video with “All Is Full of Love”, which blew a lot of teenage brains. Lesbian robots.
