Farmed salmon are now being fed chicken - and it might actually be better than the status quo (www.thejournal.ie)

Now, increased demand for traditional fishmeal – which is made from small species caught in the open ocean – has sent the industry scrambling for alternatives.

The stuff being used to make fish feed is a byproduct of the poultry industry – it’s what is left over after the parts of the chicken consumed by humans and the remains used for cat and dog food have been removed.

Context matters, going pure vegetarian and heaven help you vegan. With our access to proper replacement can and will kill you.

For 99% of people that do go vegetarian or vegan don't have that problem tho. Because they DO have access. So for them it's literally a non issue and perfectly fine and healthy.

and by anecdotal evidence wise basically every vegan I've ever met has a laundry list of health issues from their diet choice.

Rarely meet an unhealthy vegetarian tho.

The real ones that always seem to be in God tier health are the pescatarians. Those fuckers have shit figured out.
