“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 ...

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.
