Is Farmed Salmon This Evil?

Posted by Ed Levine, June 25, 2007

The organization Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform (its anti-salmon farming website is Farmed and Dangerous) ran a truly scary ad Sunday in the New York Times in its ongoing effort to convince Safeway stores to stop selling farmed salmon. I have to say the ad scared the bejesus out of me, although I had already sworn off farmed salmon.

When you go to the above-mentioned website you get tons more anti-salmon farming rhetoric, like: "With all the chemicals in Safeway's farmed salmon you might as well eat the packaging."

Visit the Smarten Up Safeway action site and view the the New York Times ad here (pdf).
