Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Found this interresting thought i'd share.

http://www.draxe.com/eating-tilapia-is- ... ing-bacon/

This reminds me of us eating gmo food! I would imagine if you fed your fish non gmo food that it would not be worse than bacon ect ect


There was someone on this site that I got this from that might help

http://premiumfishfood.com/

non gmo fish feed

So the ? is if you fed your tilapia or other farm raised fish non gmo food would that article be relevant

Good read thank you for sharing I had no idea! But I was allready going to switch my fish feed to non gmo I think at the moment I feed my fish aquamax which my luck will be gmo lol

I don't think this applies to AP fish as they are grown in pesticide / antibiotic free environment. Also AP mimics the natural cycle a river or pond.

The only concern maybe feed. High quality / protein feed, what are the source of the protein.

Uhhh, so what's wrong with bacon ?

Yeah, I looked in here expecting some sort of joke thread..

If I could raise pigs instead of fish in aqupaonics I would have started my system by now.

Well thats great news.
Lets recommend everyone stop eating sustainably sourced fish, and instead tell everyone to eat unsustainable wild caught fish.
Especially with half researched, biased, out of date resources.

The only part I agree with was the type of food that you feed fish If its gmo and then the fish eats gmo food then I would imagine the fish gets contaminated with gmo but In all reality I do not have the qualifications to even say what I said is true lol It just makes sense in my head


Now if you fed your fish non gmo food then I think farmed fish is fine

and like one of the guys said above we do not use pestisides to treat fish from my understanding we just use salt

now the toxic chemicals in pvc I have no idea thats a good ? tho for myself I didnt even use pvc glue cause I was afraid of the chemicals in it

I love the fact where he said he only eats wild caught fish well what about the mecury content in fish in our oceans and rivers?

why gmo is bad for you

there are many many articles i chose this one

Eating anything is worse than eating bacon... In fact I can't think of anything to eat that is better than bacon...

I'm with Monkey... enough about the fish, let's get back to the bacon... What's wrong with bacon???

I read an article recently where scientists had established that many of the "low cholesterol" oils we've all had pushed down our throats for the last three decades, is actually bad for you. Many because although they may be low in cholesterol in their raw form, when you consume them they actually turn on fat storing mechanisms in your body as well as becoming carcinogenic when they have heat applied to them... and margerines are just plain bad for you.

...but here's the kicker... the boffins found the best oil for cooking and for general health is actually lard... yes lard!... but it has to be real lard, made the traditional way... FROM PIGS BELLY FAT!... Lard made from pork belly fat actually turns on fat burning mechanisms in your body and also lowers cholesterol in your body!

I then looked up Pork belly and found out that my fave kind of bacon... streaky bacon... is made from Pork belly... There is a god!

So now I eat Streaky bacon at given opportunity... and don't even feel guilty anymore!... bacon tastes sooo much better (if that's even possible) when there's no guilt attached!

So next time you Hippy mung beans out there are ordering a GMO free Tilapia and Lentil burger on a wheat free bun, you may wanna consider doing your health a favour and get the guy to chuck a coupla rashers of streaky bacon on top!


Except maybe fresh King or Banana prawns!

...Mmmmmm... Prawns wrapped in bacon.... Mmmmmmmm!

See that's where you just can't keep up with things... I recently read about how the CSIRO were now saying that most seed oils were good for you..

Thats it, I'm grabbing a packet of bacon, going out the back to have a smoke and a beer and I'm going to turn on the bbq...

Farm raised bacon is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wild caught bacon is pretty dang awesome.
