And next, were going to feed salmon remains to chicken. Close the circle of life.

So it's not that we grow chicken to feed it to salmon, we use the leftovers that would otherwise go to waste. This is good!
Granted, of course, that sanitary standards are followed. In the EU, I don't expect it to be a problem.
Seriously it's in the body of text in the post. Leftovers of the chickens that cannt be used for humans dogs and cats get used for the fish.
This is like people arguing against leather at this point when millions of animals are being slaughtered and their hides are being thrown into landfills because demand is so low. If they are already slaughtering the animals, use the parts. As demand for cows/chickens comes down find alternatives, but throwing away parts of a slaughtered animal is worse to me.
Granted, of course, that sanitary standards are followed. In the EU, I don’t expect it to be a problem.
I've seen a documentary a while back that the fish feed from the baltic sea used for fish farms is pretty toxic.
All fish are contaminated with some kind of pollution. One of my lab mates in grad school did a study that showed there is no region of the oceans where caught fish do not have statistically significant levels of BPAs.
This is why they tell you to not eat salmon or tuna more than once a week.
Sorry I think I misunderstood the comment I replied to a little. But basically even in the EU anyone should prefer salmon that is fed chickenmeal or poultrymeal instead of fishmeal, because the contamination accumulates. And the baltic where a lot of the fishmeal came from (or at least used to come from) is especially toxic. But that is also getting better.
I think the best kind to do fish farms would be to develop systems where you grow your own protein rich algae in the ocean using sunlight and some fertilizer in big floating basins, and then feed the algae to (filter) fish. Then you can fully control it and are not dependent on waste. If we could scale up and automate that kind of aquaculture farming it would solve a lot of problems for protein food supply and overfishing. Because you could do it anywhere, and the oceans are basically lifeless deserts otherwise.

Feed chicken to salmon
Feed Salmon to chicken
Holy shit I just found an infinite food hack
Mad salmon disease is in the air.
Not how that works.
People are ready to do anything, but stop eating meat.
We have become obsessed with protein pushed by the beef industry in response to the increasing recognition that we are eating too much (cardiovascular disease, bowel cancer risks, etc)
Is that surprising? At all? It's literally in our nature.
I mean, no offense but I will continue to do what I can to be able to eat meat, it makes my life better.
I'm all for synthetic meats, or lab grown meats, as those become available. If there are more sustainable options, great. (As long as it tastes like meat)
Just one step away from genetically engineering the chicken salmon!
Y'all, a lot of farm raised tilapia is fed chicken manure or pellets made with manure. Look up some Aquaculture setups where chickens poop into a pond to feed fish, the fish feed water to fertilize plants.
Typically, pathogens don't jump and survive between species like this. This is a zero percent news item other than "why use inefficient chickens for the protein input?" Black soldier fly large eating compost and food waste should be the go-to option.
If we ever get invaded by aliens, they are gonna laugh their asses off.
So why don't you eat food you grow
See, it's really smart actually. We feed it to the chicken, then we feed the chicken to the salmon and then ww throw away most of it, but we eat some of it.
Your planet is dying.
LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS
What if we make them eat the grasshoppers instead of us?
Can we at least try eating grasshoppers first?
The wings get stuck in my teeth 😞
I haven't tried huffing the powder though
I'm not worried about salmon or chickens eating me.
This is my new favorite meat replacement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjFDFsg7l60
More protein per pond than chicken breast with none of the fat and none of the colesterol.
