Tasmania Atlantic Salmon, The Toxic Truth
Summary:
Join Miriam Margolyes as she discovers the Toxic Truth about Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon. She always thought it’s more important what you put into your mouth than what comes out of it, so it’s alarming when you find out that a food you’re told is essential to good health and well-being, is actually the opposite. And more alarming still when the truth is hidden in favor of profit, potentially doing harm. This is what happens with industrially farmed tasmanian atlantic salmon.
INDEX
1. In the marine waters of the Northwest, these orca whales prey exclusively on fish—and not just any fish: salmon, and preferentially Chinook, the biggest salmon in the Pacific. In this, these orcas (sometimes called Southern Residents) have plenty in common with some of the other longtime native residents of this place: the Lummi Nation.
2. In the Lummi language, the local orcas are called Qwe ‘lhol mechen.
3. When the Lummi first came to this Douglas fir and cedar cloaked land and its glacially carved bays and inlets, the Southern Residents were here to greet them.
