Uh, yeah -that’s very interesting—pass the Tilapia.
LOL! There’s a dirt-cheap, but excellent Japanese restaurant nearby I often grab lunch at that serves squid. As a result, Calamari is the seafood I eat the most of. And I was just wondering whether I’d see any mention of Calamari here. I didn’t expect Calamari to be replying, tough!
To anyone else: I was also wondering about catfish, my favorite kind of fish. There’s passing mention of farm-raised catfish. I’d love to know whether only farm-raised is bad for you. And why was catfish only mentioned in passing? Was it simply because the study was only conducted on Tilapia, but the same issues LIKELY affect catfish eaters?
Tilapia from China would be a horror story of antibiotics mixed with filth. At this point, I only buy US farm raised and wild caught fish.
Yeah, I've always heard Talapia referred to as a "trash fish". I prefer my own home grown catfish ordinarily, but the wife and I are headed for Alaska on Saturday and I plan to gorge on Salmon........
Exactly the thoughts that first crossed my mind
Agreed...yet it somehow seems to always be, "the catch of the day."
I think we should feed them to all the endangered polar bears.
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors, Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills, hippies moving to the hills. People all over the world are shouting, ‘End the war.’
And the band played on...
“For individuals who are eating fish as a method to control inflammatory diseases such as heart disease, it is clear from these numbers that tilapia is not a good choice,” the article says. “All other nutritional content aside, the inflammatory potential of hamburger and pork bacon is lower than the average serving of farmed tilapia.”
Anyone besides me smelling the BS meter going off the charts? Which is perhaps the Point A of the groupist MSM/Dem agenda. Meaning, meat is bad but lesser expensive fish is worse? HA. Again I say HA!
The second peg of the agenda in this article is to boon "consumers" to purchase fish they are currently NOT. Salmon Fishing is halted along the West Coast. So, what other "fishing industries" will be aided by this type of article? FDA, for example? Does it benefit by getting more agenda, thereby growing its bureacracy base?
My, my. England has a problem with its "racist foods" program.
But I see where our boobs have joined up with their boobs across the Pond.
Time to sell that tilapia fish farm stock!
I actually liked Tilapia up to that episode. These fish were fed the poop of farm raised sea bass and whatever food fed to the bass that they didn't eat. Grossed me out and put me off the stuff for good.
And just like as in the Duke/Lacrosse case, it chimeras a platform that All "sports players" are racists. It yells loud. It sends its major agenda headlines to pals in other countries who then broadcast that message about "America" to foreign countries.
When in fact, what they are sending is so minute an issue about America, as to meaningless.
And therefore the MSM sends the message abroad that they "support" the "minority" position. And that said "minority position" is the truth about America.
It's a lie.
This is where the stabbings must begin -- skewering what the MSM/Dems are building towards in an eye to November, and in laying the groundwork for the 4 years after.
Stab it now.
I like fish but tilapia is like some kind of super fish concentrate.

This also goes for most beef, poultry, eggs and any farmed raised fish. Switching any of these animals from their natural diet to a grain diet changes the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acid in the resulting food products.
Grass fed beef, and high Omega-3 eggs and other products higher Omega-3 products are becoming more common, and are bought by consumers who desire the more natural ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 three in the basic foods.
And, even the higher amounts listed for farm raised salmon are still well below the amount of Omega-3 found in wild salmon.
Some speculate that the significant shift from the natural Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios in food that occurred in the past century or so is a cause of many illnesses. Man followed a diet with a particular natural ratio for thousands of years, and the change occurred as meat and egg production shifted to large farms where grain was the major feed for the animals.
OK, I'm convinced! Back to the double bacon cheeseburgers for me! Hey, who am I to argue with Science?
Are you being koi with me?.............
My son and I watched that episode and the “EWWW!” factor was off the charts. We’d actually eaten the stuff the week before. No more!
“Dirty Jobs” had an episode on a fish farm. Tilapia was the fish used to eat leftovers and feces just before the water went for sewage treatment. I’ll never touch the stuff again.”
I saw the same exact episode and haven’t eaten it since.
