Have any of you watched WandaVision yet? I just finished the first two episodes after GroupWatching it with 4 friends and some relatives, and it was soooo good. The first episode has a Dick van Dyke show vibe a lot, and the second episode is very much Bewitched. Already it’s so cool, with SWORD being teased and Monica Rambeau appearing but being weird and Agnes (or Agatha Harkenss perhaps) being nosy and funny. It’s so good I am gushing

"TOXIC WATER CONDITIONS: Most of the fish eaten today are raised on aquafarms either inland or on fenced-off cages in the ocean. On these farms, fish spend their whole lives (up to two years) confined in tightly packed spaces. The water can become toxic, and it—along with antibiotics, pesticides, parasites, and feces—is spread to surrounding areas, contaminating our oceans. Wild fish populations can get sick and die when parasites and chemicals are spread to them from these farms through the water. According to a study, a 2-acre fish farm can produce as much waste as a town of 10,000 people.

AQUAFARMING LEADS TO MORE FISHING: Not only does aquafarming create massive amounts of waste, it also contributes to MORE industrial fishing. This is because many of the fish raised on these farms are predators, meaning they need to eat smaller fish to live. Billions of wild fish need to be caught in order to feed these farmed species. For example, it takes five pounds of ocean fish to produce just one pound of farmed salmon."

So don't know about that. I'm a meat eater myself, but try to cut it down a bit and I also have some problems with some foods so not sure if I could leave meat to stay fairly healthy.

Oh wow. I did not know this. So clearly Wildcaught is better than Farmed.

However, I am pretty sure that Aquaculture (where they are raised in aquariums/tanks on land in a completely controlled environment) is also eco-friendly. Granted, I am not an expert on this, but I know that many articles about eco-friendliness have pushed it.

And I know that Aquaculture and Farmed Fish are often confused, but what I mean when saying it is where fish (or aquatic animals or plants) are farmed in tanks on land, using perfectly climate-controlled, salt-controlled, etc environments, and where any waste is cleaned and cycled back into the system to avoid waste.
