http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/top-10-reasons-not-to-eat-salmon.aspx

so i'm searching on the health benefits of salmon and came across this article. thanks PETA for educating me on some of these points. i will pass them along to unsuspecting consumers here

Thanks. I'll stick with the spicy tuna roll.

Oh joy an article from PETA.

P.S.

#1 Plants are "smart" too. They know when to bloom/not bloom based on weather conditions (chemical reactions in the plant) We eat them.

#2 Possible, depends where you get the fish. But granted, fis his a primary piece in large parts of the food chain so we would get it from otehr sources eventually.

#3 Believeable (though doesnt deter someone from eating it)

#4 Again Believeable

#5 And..? Killing animals is normally cruel. It isn't like you can inject it with poison THEN eat it...

#6 Meh, I want proof on this one.

-------------(This is where MASSIVE comdey and lies ensue)-------------

#7 makes me laugh /looks at China & Japan. /laugh

(For those that don't get the joke, asians are pretty damn smart. Their (China mostly) schools usually only allow top small % from High school even go on to a higher school. And you know what meat is the #1 diet suppliment in those countries? Want to take a guess?)

#8 Sugar does that, not lean protein.

#9 REALLY!? did I just read this? Fish is the leanest meat on the market ALONG with HEALTHY fat oils that actually have shown to REDUCE blood pressure.

#10 And this shows exactly what this article is about. Just trying to convert people into vegetarians through scare tactics.

Thanks PETA. Making me laugh since 1996.

Wow, what a bunch of BS that even contradicts itself...

OMG, you will get TONS of poison from eating salmon. Oh wait 4/5 of salmon is farm raised.

Entire thing is a bunch of FUD.

#1 reason to eat salmon: it is delicious

 

[BassBomb]

Does PETA advocate eating anything?

 

[torpid]

Many of these are complete horse shit. I am particularly baffled by the cholesterol statement. It's like they wrote that before anyone knew about HDL.

I don't get why they lumped all toxins together. Salmon has notoriously low mercury levels so any references to that are complete nonsense. The PCB thing is legit although some debate how serious the issue is.

Top 5 reasons to eat salmon

#1 It tastes delicious, especially if grilled with onions
#2 The lean protein helps reduce chlorestoral and builds muscle mass. Also low in calories compared to Carbs and Fat foods.
#3 It pisses PETA off to eat animals.
#4 Help control the fish population
#5 Help the economy by funding these so called "farmers" by eating more salmon

#1 - If they're so smart, how come they keep ending up on my plate?

#2 - See #3 for a solution if you're that concerned.

#3 - *yawn*

#4 - Sounds like a good reason to put the poor things out of their misery (and on my plate!).

#5 - They gotta die somehow.

#6 - *yawn*

#7 - And this is why smart pregnant women eat balanced diets and avoid excessive consumption of seafood. Duh.

#8 - I'm still waiting for the "certain sexual side effects" this world has promised me.

#9 - The world is toxic. Get over it.

#10 - Gross.

You don't want to eat the sea kittens, do you? Why would you eat the kitties of the sea?

 

[dustb0wlkid]

This is asinine, even for PETA.

 

[bignateyk]

Eating wild salmon and not caring about animal cruelty solves about 99% of those points.

1) Don't care
2) Eat in moderation
3) Eat wild salmon, not farm raised
4) Eat wild salmon, not farm raised
5) Don't care
6) Eat wild salmon/don't care
7) Not pregnant/BS
8) Eat in moderation
9) BS. The fat in salmon is healthy.
10) I'm not gonna eat shitty fake fish.

I was on an island that I had to take a float-plane to outside of Juneau, AK. We had just caught some Silver salmon out of the bay. Minimal bake time and seasoning....holy shit that was one of the best meals of my life. To top it off a couple were female, so fresh roe in yogurt on a cracker....Jesus Christo.

Fuck you PETA.

9 of the top 10 reasons to not eat salmon == I've run out of salmon.

 

[xSkyDrAx]

If salmon were so smart they would know to not be so tasty!

Loves me some salmon sashimi.

You ate the kitty's babies!!!??? Did you mutilate the kitty's genitals to extract her babies?

People Eating Tasty Animals advocating against eating salmon? I am confused.

 

[SS Trooper]

Fish is gross, PETA is dumb, that is all.

GAH! Don't put onion on salmon! It overpowers the fish! Use butter, lemon juice, and thyme, or capers if you want it a little stronger.

 

[Texashiker]

Salmon is nasty tasting, I would not eat regardless of what peta says.

Eating is a causing pain. You can eat animals, which means you are killing them, or you can eat plants, which means the same thing.

Studies have shown that plants can communicate with each other via clicking and respond to attacks with a 'pain response'. So eating apples is a lot like ripping off the arms of a cow every summer and waiting for them to grow back.

The fact is humans need food to survive and we were built to be able to eat both meat and plants. Will things suffer so I can live? Yes. This would happen no matter what I do. Do I enjoy steak? Oh hell yes. So fuck it, I'll just deal with the fact that my enjoyment of steak means the death of a cow.
