I went to Sam St. John's Seafood Restaurant today and ordered the grilled chicken with two sides, coleslaw and green beans. It was very good! The grilled chicken couldn't have been better, in my opinion. And it was only $8.99. My friend had the farm raised flounder for $9.99. I think the chicken was the healthier and more enjoyable choice.

Farm raised can be good but often bad. Depending on the country of origin and they often hide that Chinese or Thailand label under the "from New Jersey" label.
Some fish are not and never can be farm raised. Halibut, cod, haddock, bluefish, ono, and many tunas. Farm raised flounder is not flounder. Farm raised salmon is fine if it's farm raised in the ocean. Most farm raised fish are done in large ponds. Recirculated food and waste. Tilapia is garbage. Pretty as it looks it is always bad. Naturally contains Omega 6 and not omega 3 like many fish. Omega 6 is something you need to read up on.
Eat a stick of margarine instead. The Villages does not have a good fish market. The stand on 466 is very good but expensive. The real stuff. Sweetbay has great cod and haddock (at times). Take your fish pills and master chili.
Feel free to write and ask more. Many years in the fish biz.

I don't care if it is farm raised as long as it is not a product of China or Viet Nam.

This is from snopes.com about fish raised in China.

Tilapia are a fast-growing tropical species of fish native to Africa whose popularity in the commercial food industry has surged in recent years.


(Technically, tilapia is not the name of one specific species of fish but rather a common name for dozens of different species of cichlid fish.) Tilapia is now the fourth most-consumed seafood in the United States, after shrimp, tuna and salmon, and due to increased demand, much of the tilapia consumed by the public is now farm-raised rather than wild-caught. A June 2013 report from the Earth Policy Institute noted that worldwide production of farmed fish now not only exceeds the production of beef, but that consumption of farmed fish is soon expected to exceed consumption of wild-caught fish:
The world quietly reached a milestone in the evolution of the human diet in 2011. For the first time in modern history, world farmed fish production topped beef production. The gap widened in 2012, with output from fish farming — also called aquaculture — reaching a record 66 million tons, compared with production of beef at 63 million tons. And 2013 may well be the first year that people eat more fish raised on farms than caught in the wild.
One of the reasons for the popularity of tilapia is that they are short-lived and primarily vegetarian and therefore do not accumulate substantial amounts of mercury by consuming other fish, as other common predatory food fish (such as tuna) do. This factor also means, as reported in a June 2013 National Geographic article, that tilapia are more efficient to farm because they eat lower on the food chain:
Andy Sharpless, the CEO of Oceana [an ocean conservation organization] explained that many popular food species like salmon are carnivorous, often devouring other fish. So when farmed, they eat upwards of five pounds of small fish to produce just one pound of salmon, a net loss of protein.

"We're actually taxing the oceans every time we eat farmed salmon instead of relieving it," said Sharpless. "Aquaculture should add edible protein to the world, not reduce it."

Carl Safina, author, conservationist, and Ocean Views contributor, said he isn't surprised that farmed fish have overtaken beef, because the process is more efficient. "It's probably more like Step One in a long-term downsizing," said Safina.

He explained that people will soon start eating more farmed carp and tilapia, because they are lower on the food chain, and therefore more efficient — a driving force in an increasingly overpopulated world.

"We're down mainly to two mammals (cows and pigs) and two birds (chickens and turkeys), and seafood is probably headed in that same direction as the spectacular variety of our overfished ocean yields to a few easily farmed, efficiently fed fish," said Safina. "A crowded world has less room for choices; that's the bull lurking in this china shop."
Farmed fish aren't necessarily inferior to their wild-caught brethren, any more than farmed beef or grain is inferior to wild varieties of those foods. And there's no guarantee that wild-caught fish are a safer food source than farmed fish, as the former often ingest a variety of toxins and other pollutants that flow into the world's waterways. However, farmed tilapia can vary considerably in quality based on where they are produced. Tilapia are typically farmed in the U.S. and Canada using tanks with closed recirculating systems, but much of the tilapia consumed by Americans is imported from Latin America and Asia (particularly Ecuador, China, and Taiwan), where the fish are usually raised in outdoor freshwater ponds. (China is the world's largest producer of farmed tilapia, supplying approximately 40% of global production; nearly 40% of that output is exported to the U.S., primarily in the form of frozen fillets.) As reported by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), in Ecuador tilapia are grown at low densities alongside shrimp to reduce water pollution, resulting in less disease and chemical use. But in China and Taiwan, water pollution and the use of chemicals in tilapia farming is a concern.

One of the issues with tilapia farmed in China is that smaller, independent farmers face economic pressures to use animal manure rather than more expensive commercial feed for farmed fish, a practice which contaminates water and makes the fish more susceptible to spreading foodborne diseases. A July 2009 report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the safety of food imports from China noted that in that country "Fish are often raised in ponds where they feed on waste from poultry and livestock" and cited an increased rate of FDA rejection of fish imports from China between 2000 and 2008:
Fish and shellfish products were the industry group with the most refusals from China, followed by vegetables and fruit products. Fish/shellfish share of refusals from China doubled from about 20 percent in 2000-04 to nearly 40 percent in 2007-08. Food and Water Watch also drew attention to the high incidence of safety problems with fish and shellfish imports from China.

Eels (frozen and/or roasted), catfish fillets, and shrimp accounted for most of the refused fish/shellfish shipments, but a wide variety of other products were also refused, including tilapia, tuna, monkfish, squid, jellyfish, crawfish, crab, cod, mackerel, and other fish species. The large number of fish and shellfish refusals may reflect increased monitoring of these products that began in 2006 due to chronic problems.
Similarly, an October 2012 Bloomberg article observed that the FDA had rejected 820 Chinese seafood shipments since 2007, including 187 that contained tilapia, and furnished examples of the practice of using manure as feed for farmed fish in China:
At Chen Qiang's tilapia farm in Yangjiang city in China's Guangdong province, which borders Hong Kong, Chen feeds fish partly with feces from hundreds of pigs and geese. That practice is dangerous for American consumers, says Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety.

"The manure the Chinese use to feed fish is frequently contaminated with microbes like salmonella," says Doyle, who has studied foodborne diseases in China.

On a sweltering, overcast day in August, the smell of excrement is overpowering. After seeing dead fish on the surface, Chen, 45, wades barefoot into his murky pond to open a pipe that adds fresh water from a nearby canal. Exporters buy his fish to sell to U.S. companies.

Yang Shuiquan, chairman of a government-sponsored tilapia aquaculture association in Lianjiang, 200 kilometers from Yangjiang, says he discourages using feces as food because it contaminates water and makes fish more susceptible to diseases. He says a growing number of Guangdong farmers adopt that practice anyway because of fierce competition.

"Many farmers have switched to feces and have stopped using commercial feed," he says.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program issued a report on pond-farmed tilapia from China in June 2012 which upgraded their previous "Avoid" recommendation to a "Good Alternative," although that organization's ratings primarily focus on environmental sustainability and ecological impact rather than food safety issues. China's increased recommendation status was due mostly to a reduction in water use and the discharge of effluent by tilapia farmers — factors which are local environmental concerns — rather than enhanced food safety measures. The report noted that use of banned chemicals by Chinese tilapia farmers is an ongoing concern:
Most Chinese tilapia is farmed in ponds. Recent reductions in water use, achieved by only emptying the ponds at the time of each harvest, has also reduced discharge of effluent to the environment. Both of these factors were sufficient to raise this recommendation from its previous "Avoid" to a "Good Alternative."

Chinese farms do discharge the water without relevant treatment, however, and there is evidence that some banned chemicals — including antibiotics and fungal treatments (nitrofurans and malachite green) — are still used in Chinese tilapia production.

Overall, Chinese tilapia gets a moderate overall score of 5.34 out of ten. Tilapia as a species has the potential to be raised in sustainable ways, but the increasing intensification and industrialization has resulted in one "Red" score for the Chemical Use criterion. This means that the overall ranking is "Yellow," and therefore the recommendation is "Good Alternative."
Making a blanket determination about whether American consumers should shun all food (or all of a particular type of food) imported from China is problematic because, as the FDA noted, the Chinese food industry is so broad and diverse:
Making generalizations about China’s food industry is difficult. Several thousand modern, large-scale, multinational and joint venture companies and farms that use best practices and sophisticated equipment operate alongside millions of small independent farms, workshops, and merchants that use crude equipment and techniques. China has some 200 million farming households with average land holdings of 1-2 acres per farm and at least 400,000 food processing enterprises, most with 10 or fewer employees. Millions of people and businesses are involved in the handling and transportation of food beyond the farm gate. The vast number of food suppliers increases the challenge of disseminating standards, monitoring production, and tracing problems to their source.

How do you know it's not the other way around? Where are the scientific studies to show that poor diets make people live longer and healthier? Poor diets subtract years from your life. Read the obituary and you will see there's no shortage of people dying in their 60s and early 70s.




People who live healthy lifestyles generally don't end up in nursing homes. They tend to stay independent. And if you stay healthy, you will live a long life. On the other hand, people who live unhealthy lifestyles sometimes live into their 80s but the last 10 to 15 years are usually of very poor quality.

I'll soon be 73 and I'm still in good (drug free) health. The way I feel (young) I think I can keep going another 27 years in good health.
People can only hope their assumptions about their "healthy" lifestyles are true. There is really no proof. Genetics plays a huge part in how long people live no matter what their lifestyle.

And some people must hope that their assumptions about genetics are true. When you say that genetics plays a huge part, how do you define "huge"? Who came up with "huge"? Are you talking about what scientific studies have determined? And if it's not based on scientific studies, what else is there to base it on?

The CDC states that only about 4 to 6% of cancers are genetic. That's certainly not "huge".

I can't speak for others but I can tell you that my lifestyle, for the most part, is based on what has been proved scientifically.

Neal2tire: "Omega 6 is something you need to read up on."
I have read whole books on the subject of Omega 6 and omega 3. Omega 6 is not good or bad and omega 3 is not good or bad. It's the ratio or balance between the two that's important. In nature the smallest (wild) cold-water-fish, like sardines, eat plankton. They are therefore high in omega 3. And the bigger fish eat the small fish; that's how they get their omega 3.

If you farm raise fish where they don't have access to plankton, or the smaller fish that eat plankton, they will be deficient in Omega 3, or to state it another way, they will have a higher ratio of omega 6.

But that's not the only downside to farm raised fish. There's the issue of them being fed antibiotics etc.. When fish are farm raised I'm not going to assume that they were raised (fenced in) in the ocean. I'm going to assume the worst unless someone can prove, or show me, otherwise.

Can you prove it? Genetics? what percentage? Lifestyle? What percentage? The word "huge" is meaningless unless you have something to back it up.

Scientific studies are constantly skewed to who is doing them. You can't believe them all.

Lets's see....Coffee is good, coffee is bad; margarine is good, margarine is bad; vitamins are good, vitamins are bad; this is good, this is bad.

It just goes on and on.

Good genes, common sense and moderation will get you just as far as most enhancements or restrictions the current "scientific study" is claiming will extend your life.

I agree. Some studies are funded by the food industry.

Quote:

I agree. All the food items you mentioned can have both good and bad aspects to them.

Quote:

I choose to look at the positive side: There are lots of whole food items where there is either very little or no debate. My diet consists of lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nut & seeds. And on rare occasions a little chicken, turkey or wild caught fish.

Mostly, the debate goes "on and on" for those who don't like natural whole foods. For those who eat mostly processed foods, there will always be some debate as to how good or how bad those foods are for your health.

Do you recommend good genes? I'll have to remember to get some, the next time I go to the gene store. I've been meaning to do that but never seem to get around to it.

Common sense: My common sense tells me to limit processed foods to a few items like olive oil, Ezekiel bread and whole grain pasta. (Cooking is a form of processing too and I do some cooking.)

Moderation That which I have outlined above I consider to be moderation. I don't believe in eating a moderate amount of fast food. My common sense tells me not to do that.

Note: My common sense may be different than your common sense because I have actually studied health and nutrition for quite some time. So maybe I should call it an uncommon educated sense. Not that I know everything about health and nutrition, that's impossible; it's an ongoing process of learning; but I think I know more than the average person.
