There are also several issues with moving this industry on land. That could be an entirely different video..

Thank You 🙏. As a fishmonger it's so annoying to explain this to people because of the bs propaganda they are feeding them. I also worry about overfishing every season. Sure I'm in the business of selling but there is only so much wild fish for the taking and with the unpredictable weather patterns it's hurting some industries. Farming could be a great solution if more people would get on board.

Finally, someone who also knows what they are talking about! Another Marine Biologist here. I also worked in aquaculture but before that, I worked as a Fisheries Observer in Alaska. I learned, firsthand, that "wild fish" is synonymous with massive environmental destruction. The cod fishery can kill up to half(!) the round weight in bycatch! It was disgusting and heartbreaking. The worse part, the Alaskan cod fishery is listed as "green". Which is absurd if you knew anything about it. I buy farmed fish as a general rule unless its a wild fishery I know has low bycatch and is actually managed for real. It's a small list!

@@deadfujoshi796 I totally agree with you. I don’t remember the exact number now, but I believe that 80% of wild fish populations are either overfished or at their limit, so if we want to eat more fish in the future it will have to be farmed fish. A lot of countries are very strict with regards to legislation, ecosystems and fish welfare etc, like Iceland, Norway and the Faroe Islands. There is still a way to go, but the aquaculture industry needs to do a lot of positive marketing for themselves to get the consumers on board.

Many people are born too quickly without coming up with solutions to problems before the problems actually occur is the problem, we need to be proactive not reactive, over population is a bad thing, very bad

problems, maybe, but we also owe them for cheapening of the goods, as the large companies are the ones with ability to optimize and streamline. sometimes at the cost of cheap labor, welp, it is complicated. but we do buy the cheaper option, so who is really to blame here?

Well, they do have too much power but it's not the root of the problem (it's a symptom imo). If decentralisation ever happens, the real issue will no longer have much obfuscating it: consumerism on our very populous planet. Yes, we can and should blame companies for drumming up (manipulating) demand as well as supplying as much as they do (especially going to the lengths they do to maintain supply). But the fact is that as long as there will be people who want, there will be people who supply. Decentralise power and it just means more entities supplying. It doesn't really matter if it's 3 companies plundering the planet or it's 15 for example. I understand why blaming the masses is not the first thing that ought to happen (companies need to be ethical first and foremost) but this constant focus on the rhetoric of power toppling creates this low accountability landscape. I understand there's a sliding scale of convenience but I can't help but pause for a moment when a person is tweeting, "eat the rich", on their iPhone. Until accountability becomes a norm and not just a facet of eco-awareness (at convenience's sake), nothing is going to change. I'm not saying this from my ivory tower, I'm saying this knowing how pervasive the issue is and I usut refuse to paint it as an us vs them issue. Because the fact is that in predominantly capatitalistic economies, there are market forces that result in there being few big companies in the given industries. And market forces are due to both companies and consumers. So how exactly is decentralisation ever going to happen if the average person doesnt care to be conscious of who they're buying from and what exactly it is they're buying? Plus, it'd honestly be easier to get people to vote with their wallet if accountability was the norm. Two things I do have to mention: 1) It's exceedingly difficult to vote with your wallet when you can't afford the luxury of choice. Price by and large dictates what people can and do buy. That won't be so much the case if the cost of living wasn't so high. If companies paid more fairly (ie, matching inflation) and governments and companies took better care of people, then people would be able to vote with their wallets easier. 2) If companies were less capatitalistic and they themselves pushed or supported the agenda of decentralisation or at the very least didn't fight it, the process would require the masses cooperating less. Which also brings up the huge issue of companies deepening ideological and philosophical divisions.

@@AlexanderBukh We owe them nothing. They owe us for making them filthy rich.

Ooo this concept is cool. Ty

Can you name your fish and get photos of their development?

Thank you! Yeah there's so much more we could have got into but this is at least a starting point for a conversation. 👍🏻

same here, I go for the cheap stuff, at least then you know it's not accidently a happy wild salmon that spent his childhood in a clean pristine ocean, then made a fantastic journey through clean waters to end up in a Canadian wildlife reserve where a healthy happy man then catches it ... I shiver at that idea...

Ooooooooo great suggestion!

Real Vanilla does exist in super markets. Its easier and cheaper to recreate it then buying it imported plus its not as sweet as artificial Vanilla

That's one of the things they're taking a loss on to get you into the store to buy things they DON'T lose on.

Olive oil fraud too, it's a huge issue with the mafia in Italy making counterfeit olive oil by outsourcing it from cheap stock and slapping a label on it. Because of this I prefer Tunisian Greek or Palestinian olive oil

@@FutureProofTV Or how about counterfeit saffron? "Extra virgin" Olive oil? Cassia being passed off as cinnamon? (That one's actually legal and happens all the time but most people don't seem to care) You could probably do a whole series just on food lies.

Or go fish your own

Yeah I guess just be richer is the answer to everything right?

or don't buy it. you are not gonna die

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. I don't know how they've made all of these videos on capitalist exploitation and lies and haven't arrived at the point. It doesn't JUST HAPPEN that every product and industry on earth is in some way unethical. We know why it has grown to become unethical. There is one answer.

the idea that you get what you pay for is easily exploited by scammers, they're not going to give you the mislabeled stuff at the same price, you'd be suspicious. So I go for the cheap stuff, and count on the other scam, that states that European consumer protection measures are airtight and all food you buy and tapwater you drink is a-ok...

fishing industry isn't a monolith, its like saying the plastic industry is one of the biggest contributors to plastic in the ocean. Like yet but that's a meaningless statement.

YEeeeeeep just to add insult to injury...

@@matthewjohnson2702 No, it isn't a meaningless statement. Any statement like that is necessarily, and therefore implicitly, talking about averages. Nobody thinks every fishing fleet, from one guy in a dingie to dozens of hundreds of trawlers, are exactly the same. I don't even know how you would be able to get the data to quantify anything *except* statistical averages. Assuming it's true, then based on what I know about data gathering in the field, I assume it's measured based on the type and quantity of plastic that's found in the ocean, - at least the ones that can be traced back to their root industry. We can't say that Jim the Fisherman tossed out that specific piece of plastic, but we can probably guess that that piece of plastic came from the fishing industry based on what it is. Presumably the majority, or at least plurality, of traceable plastic that's measured and sampled comes from fishing boats and adjacent industrial practices.

@@hypotheticalaxolotl do you really think the general public has any meaningful understanding of different types of commercial fishing or the waste associated with them? I disagree entirely. The general public knows fuck all about fishing. Generally public’s inmate base is off documentaries from Netflix or some other such nonsense. And yes I’m sure you don’t know how to get data except from statistical averages. But that doesn’t mean that data can’t be had, isn’t easy to acquire, and isn’t already out there. Some fisheries use little to no plastic for fucks sake.

Plastic is one reason to boycott products of the fishing industry. This video gives us more reasons to boycott animal products! To get Omega 3 without eating fish, eat ground flax, walnuts, chia seeds, or an algae based supplement.

Nothing in this video said anything about poison or unhealthy foods... It's about wild Vs farmed and sustainability... Western food is generally fairly safe, but plant based is much more sustainable generally... Local, seasonal is really the best

if you go vegan you have infinitely less things to worry about

😂

@@growtocycle6992 No, western foods and American foods have problems. For example, watch critiques and news videos on school lunches. Like from Evil Food Supply. They even ruled fries and ketchup were considered "vegetable servings" as a excuse to not make the lunches healthier and to make it cheap junk. There's a lot of corruption too. If you truly cared about the west you would address the issues, like Future Proof is doing. Not cover up problems that hurt westerners.

@@vash47 One thing you have to worry about is making sure you’re combining the right foods for essential nutrients that you can get from just plopping a steak on your plate with some random vegetables and fruit.

Thanks for being here! ( and good luck with the fish situation)

Farmed fish have their own health drawbacks. There are plant based sources of omega 3. Fish get omega 3 from eating algae. You could just take an algae based supplement and get the omega 3 from the original source. "One of the biggest concerns with farm-raised fish is its potential to contain industrial chemicals, including terephthalic acid (TPA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Fish raised in farms may also contain chemicals used to "improve" their coloring (e.g. the salmon you buy that appears ultra-pink), which could have an impact on our health."-UCLA Health Title-"Thinking of adding more fish to your diet? Consider the health risks of farm-raised seafood"

Any wild caught fish has higher mercury/metal content. The issue is the mislabeling and we need to hold companies/supermarket accountable for proper raising or sourcing

"One of the biggest concerns with farm-raised fish is its potential to contain industrial chemicals, including terephthalic acid (TPA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Fish raised in farms may also contain chemicals used to "improve" their coloring (e.g. the salmon you buy that appears ultra-pink), which could have an impact on our health. Because of the conditions in which most farmed fish are raised, microbial contamination of their habitat could also pose a health threat to us and to wild populations of fish, which we have seen in wild- and farmed-salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest. And then there's the question of the antibiotics. Just as there are health concerns over antibiotics used in livestock, such as chickens and cattle, farmed-raised fish also are fed antibiotics, which we ingest when we consume fish."- UCLA Health

@@someguy2135 Appreciate the clip and the source.

What??? 😢 Please link references I would love to look into this topic.

just buy award winning oils, they arent that much more expensive

@@sophiale1590 Johnny Harris did a whole piece about this called "Your olive oil is probably a lie"

Not a problem for me, the olive oil I consume comes directly from my olival.

it's a shame for consumers wanting specifically extra virgin oil, but for me personally, I don't mind what kind of olive oil I get as long as it is actually still from an olive, I don't do anything with it that would require a highly specific product, and 99% of my cooking is done with sesame oil anyway

Best to just boycott all animal products. Just one more reason to do so.

@@someguy2135 I buy organic grass fed beef straight from the farm where they raise the cattle. It's a lot better for the environment than a lot of non-meat protein (looking at you soy).....

@@ckm-mkcmost soy (over 70%) goes to feed cattle and other farmed animals (including fish). Raising grass fed cattle requires 2.5 times as much land as factory farms. Animal agriculture is already the leading cause of deforestation, switching all farm animals to pasture raised is literally impossible. There is no way to eat animals that is more sustainable than a plant based diet. Do whatever you want but don’t greenwash your choices.

​@@emilyking9558 I agree that no form of meat is good, I think fish is often painted as a "better alternative"because it's out of sight, out of mind... Actually, I think we are destroying the oceans more than the land, so it's worse... My opinion

@@someguy2135 Go do that buddy, come back in four years when your teeth fall out and you can't function anymore.

Good point, and even omega-3 supplements are kind of shady especially with the processing of the oils for consumption and are missing some important fatty acids like dpa (docosapentaenoic acid) which is missing from oily fish(like salmon or mackerel) and plant based sources and can be found in breast milk which suggests a crucial role in human development. I personally avoid fish sourced supplements and get harp seal oil from an ethical local and sustainable fishery owned by Mi'kmaq folks over in Newfoundland. That's what works for me, this is not medical advice and please talk to your doctor if you plan to change something in your nutritional or dietary intake. Besides the problematic process of extracting the fish oil which is usually heavily industrialized and prone to contamination, I've found that my GERD wouldn't flare up as bad with taking seal oil as when I was taking fish oil derived supplements. They also wouldn't trigger my MCAS and Lupus as severely since my whacked out immune system was more likely to recognize it and absorb it. No heartburn and no fish breath and stomachaches definitely went a long way in making me feel less shitty and sick. It's also made digestion a little easier and less gruelling and feeling like a task for me. As a plus seal products to an extent domestically are more regulated than some fish products so they have to be pretty honest with their labels and packaging as well as their refining process and traceability of their sources. Again not a professional of any kind and this is not medical advice, just sharing what worked for me. Always talk to your doctor or nutritional advisor about this kind of stuff don't take advice from random anecdotes on the internet

Yup, clouded eyes mean it's already started going bad and decomposing which means it can make you sick if you ingest it. Unfortunately a lot of companies in the seafood industry bank off of this and rely on customers not knowing any better and being unable to tell the difference between fresh and expired fish

I like the taste of trout. Is large salmon colored trout tasty?

Steelhead trout is delicious and looks very much like wild salmon. If you live where there are Costcos, they sell it, and it's reasonably priced.

Trout is tecnically a salmon. It's a part of the salmon family...

I agree. I don't see how we're going to protect wild species without maximizing fish farming. Is there another way?

I'm curious, what species of fish become extinct?

I agree, I think farmed tastes better

It depends where the farmed salmon comes from. Around here, the majority comes from Chile and it's pretty bland. US, Canadian or (rarely available) Norwegian farmed salmon is much, much better and less sus.

You're joking right? Farmed salmon when cocked releases so much fat compared to wild salmon.

@@ckm-mkc That might be the reason. You usually get Norwegian farmed salmon in German grocery stores.

What? No it doesn't. What are you talking about? Actual real wild salmon costs more. And if far more flavourful. I don't know where you buy yours, but as a fellow Western-European and neighbour, my country has some of the highest food standards in the world. Even higher than Germany. But then, I actually live pretty close to the sea, so maybe that's another reason. I don't mind farmed salmon, and it's really high quality here. Even in supermarkets. But actual real wild salmon is still better, in my opinion, and anything from the fish market is leagues above any farmed fish. And I have never found any wild salmon that is cheaper.

Also read salmon wars, very informative read and my dad who is a pretty avid subsistence fisherman could get behind it as this is a topic he's been passionate about for years

Agreed. Stiffer regulations in this area would really help.

Don’t you mean “fishy”. I’ll sea my way out

@@monique7885 badum tshhhh

It's not always easy. A lot of restaurants here sell "catfish" on the menu - which is a local fish - but they secretly substitute Vietnamese swai fish. Same with shrimp, crayfish, and oysters. Those are all local but a lot of what you can actually buy is imported from China.

Shrimp cocktail is a no go for me 🤢

shrimp is very nutritious! super lean protein source. Less of those "good" fatty acids, but thats fine. Some criticise their high cholesterol levels, but dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on serum cholesterol. Only downside is the high uric acid, but this only matters if you get gout.

​@@Steven-er6lf And if you don't have a dietary or religious reason to avoid shellfish. Salmon is still the best choice for a lot of people.

@@MilwaukeeWoman Both are great! Pretty much all fish is great for general health purposes.

Salmon, like most fish, can contain toxins like mercury, PCB's and microplastics that bio-accumulate up the food chain. When a fish eats a smaller fish, it gets any toxins in that smaller fish, etc. To get Omega 3 without eating fish, eat ground flax, walnuts, chia seeds, or an algae based supplement.

Thanks for the suggestion! We did a video about meal kits already if you haven't seen it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZece9hzx9zeaGQ.htmlsi=6K2UiHlJlBMHFWFI

In general you're gonna pay a significant convenience tax (2-3x price). Since that mark-up is how they make their money. If the quality of ingredients is good and the convenience is worth it to your specific situation, then go for it. Though IMO they really need to have another value add other than just convenience. Meal kits I consider somewhat grey because they at least teach you to make the food, so it only takes another step to learn to plan and prep yourself and you can drop your costs by ~2/3, and can help people who aren't confident about cooking to take the plunge or try a dish they feel is beyond their normal ability. I think in the short term that's enough value add to be worth the ridiculous price-mark-ups, but should really transition out of it long term once you've built up your skills.

I don't get it, albacore is tuna and absolutely doesn't give people diarrhea. Are you talking about one of the non-tuna species that are falsely called albacore?

Yeah we still remember mad cow disease and how much of a shit show that was getting it under control in the UK right?

Yep! That's how it works!

@@FutureProofTV And then they delete your comments when you point out that they never mention capitalism being the problem. Absolutely not sharing your videos anymore, it's neoliberal drivel that serves to perpetuate fascist, capitalist harm by just shrugging when faced with naming the problem behind all of these video topics.
