8. Farmed Salmon

Fishery experts won’t eat farmed salmon because they are fed an obscenely unhealthy diet, which translates to a very poor quality meat. These fish are kept in overly crowded pens, and mostly fed corn, soy, and chicken litter, which can include pesticides, PCB’s, and other known carcinogens.

They are also given large doses of antibiotics and pesticides to treat the fish for disease.

These chemicals are then passed on to you. Fish experts state that fish with the most contamination come from Northern Europe but they are often found in American restaurants.

Your alternative? Eat only wild Alaskan salmon. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon, so if the package or restaurant says fresh Atlantic salmon, it’s from a farm.
