farm-raised or wild fish

i feel like you just can't win anymore. sure, farm-raised is worse in nutrition and the farms can be terrible for the environment. but wild fish is definitely bad for the environment, and since there's tons of illegal dumping and random pollution in the seas, you can't know what chemicals are in your fish.and  people don't catch fish sustainably, you wouldn't be able to run a large business if you did, probably not even a medium sized one.

i have kind of a weird thing with organic. i don't care too much about the chemicals i'm ingesting (i hate bugs!!). i am much more concerned about how the chemicals we put into our foods are affecting the environment. it's polluting everything!

the best way to be "safe" is to grow your own food. but how many of us do? at my home we grow a few things: basil, peppers, loquats, jujubees, oranges, and we get lemons from our neighbor. but we produce very little of any of this stuff, any my mom still has to buy all of the above from the store. and that's the thing too. even if you do grow your own stuff, you probably don't grow enough of it. and if you did grow enough to feed yourself every meal, you probably aren't getting a good variety of nutrients and minerals and stuff. ...the problem continues.

i think growing stuff is great. i intend to have a little garden later. but i wish life was just easier, with clear good and bad ways to get food.
