First the farmers need to buy all that fertilizer to dump in the water, then they have to hire migrant labor and buy fishing rods so the laborers can catch the darn things, and have you seen the price of worms lately? And don't forget, since the farms are mostly in China and Thailand, there are no Congressional mega farm subsidies, and then the farmers have to load the salmon in shipping containers and hope that no Somali pirates hijack them en route to the Port of Los Angeles, after which the consumer picks up the cost of trucking them to New Jersey. Wild caught salmon, on the other hand, all you have to do is promise a grizzly bear you'll take the cover off your neighbor's garbage cans at night and the bear will be so grateful he'll go down to the river and grab you a few salmon, how much does it cost to remove a garbage can lid? Heck, that wild caught salmon should be cheaper than mackerel, and I'll bet Costco is charging north of ten bucks a pound for it. On the other hand, there's so much mercury in that wild caught salmon that it can take your temperature while you eat.Aaron Elsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765103620316143748noreply@blogger.com
