Danger on Your Plate? Farm-Raised and Wild Salmon

Description

It's almost a given that salmon is part of a healthy diet, its benefits touted far and wide. Some savvy consumers will even choose wild fish over farm-raised, believing it to be all the more nutritious. This program goes behind the scenes at Marine Harvest, the world's largest producer of farmed salmon, to examine the nutritive properties of both farm-raised and wild-caught fish. To keep costs down, intensive-farming operations like Marine Harvest employ practices that yield salmon low in the desirable omega-3 fatty acids-while at organic fisheries, wild-caught salmon are sent to market full of toxins due to the widespread pollution of the seas. Is it better to stop eating fish altogether?
