    Nom de guerre

    Seafood is farmed - fish, shrimp, oysters, scallops... just about anything can be farmed.

    It's best to get truly WILD seafood when possible. Farm-raised does not offer an acceptable alternative as farm-raised seafood has HIGHER toxin levels than wild-caught. Additionally, farm-raised seafood isn’t fed a wild diet, instead, receiving palletized products “rich” in chemical nutrients which don’t metabolize well in humans. Grain-fed (corn and soy) farm-raised fish, don’t have the same healthy Omega6:Omega3 essential fatty acids as their wild-caught cousins, another nutritional disaster for creatures and humans alike.
