Food choices

SALMON - A HEALTHY CHOICE?

As many of you know, I prioritise knowing about the food I eat – the where, who and how the food was raised and/or prepared. This isn’t always as easy as it once was and I believe, should be.

Salmon is a case in point. So many people in Australia consume salmon regularly believing it to be a healthy food to eat. I used to do that too until I discovered that all fresh salmon in Australia is farmed and, from what I have been able to ascertain, the way salmon is farmed in Australia has me saying ‘no thanks’. Concerns around animal and thus human health in addition to environmental damage are the issues for me.
