EATING FISH

Did you hear the big PETA push now that they’ve formed a “Fish Empathy
Project” that is trying to convince people not to eat or catch fish, because
they can feel pain too. They say that fish think, feel, socialize and that
we would never try to put a fish hook in a cat or dog. Ted says if they’re
such good thinkers, how come they still fall for the fishhook? Don’t you
think one of them would have passed along that danger by now?

We also got on the topic of ECO-FRIENDLY FISH and WORST ECO-CHOICES when
it comes to buying and eating fish. The worst list includes some that are
on the “endangered” list and some have a consumption advisory because of
toxins.

Herring

Salmon – from Alaska

on the Food Network)
