As a marine biologist, the question of whether to choose farmed salmon or wild salmon, and what was better for the environment, plagued me. So I did a lot of digging, found a lot of misinformation and lies, and came to my own personal conclusion as to what salmon I'll be eating in the future. I hope my journey down this rabbit hole will help you decide which salmon to eat if, like me, you care about the ocean and want to help protect it.
00:00 Introduction
02:35 Lie 1 - we all need to be eating salmon for it's health benefits
04:04 Migratory detour - salmon are hugely important wild animals
05:55 Lie 2 - salmon farming is sustainable and eco-friendly
11:58 Lie 3 - "wild-caught" salmon is truly wild and natural
14:32 Conclusion - what salmon will I be eating going forward
