"There is a lack of scientific evidence to support either a partial or full ban of net pen aquaculture in the State of Washington or elsewhere in the United States. Aquaculture faces a number of persistent, troubling falsehoods regarding the environmental footprint of net pen.."

The @AmFisheriesSoc urges @waDNR to "consider the science and to maintain opportunities for properly regulated and environmentally sound net pen #aquaculture on state-owned lands in Washington." fisheries.org/2024/11/afs-su… @Seafood4America @NFImedia @NOAAFisheries

Life expectancy was 35 in 1910 when pasteurization was invented

I guess all our ancestors died from drinking milk prior to pasteurization.



For sure. Let’s purge the scientists, teachers, engineers and doctors. What do they know? Brilliant. Do your own research.

People who drink raw milk tend to be slimmer, healthier, more robust, better skin, better muscle tone and better immunity. I see it time and time again. People who supposedly have lactose intolerance often see it disappear when drinking raw milk. Please—allow the increasingly…

1/5: Warren Atleo struggles to understand how the decision to ban open-pen fish farms was made, or by whom: “There are several different fish farming companies that employ lots of First Nations. Was there no thought to what would happen to the people if we did this?” A thread:

5/5 These are just some of thousands of people in BC concerned about a political transition to land or closed containment salmon farms by 2029 that is impossible and will hurt their communities. Has Ottawa lost sight of us again? #fnpoli #bcpoli #cdnpoli

"The east coast provinces will be free to carry on with open farming at least for the time being, raising the question: Is the BC ban just a move to placate certain organisations and native groups" Another good summary of the BC salmon farm "transition" fishfarmermagazine.com/2024/10/29/an-…

Decision to ban net-pen salmon farms in BC does not align with the scientific findings of animal health experts says the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. #SalmonFarming #Aquaculture #AnimalHealth seawestnews.com/vets-urge-otta…

Nope. Study compound interest. 8% per year

50% over 5 years is 10% a year.
