For anyone following my fish recipes, please DO NOT BUY FARM RAISED FISH!! Wild Alaskan Salmon is an excellent choice for my recipe.
FED UP
Things like skim milk and plain yogurt contain a significant amount of sugar. Please read the labels because even when you get fresh fish, it may be farm raised=ask the grocer/shop owner. Many Sushi Restaurants are guilty of using the cheaper farm raised fish and almost all Chinese Restaurants follow this practice. I am probably paranoid because of documentaries like FOOD INC. and FED UP. I tried to go vegan right after watching FOOD INC. several years ago. Indians in particular are prone to develop diabetes as it is a high risk disease for Asians. They are usually “skinny fat”. The American Government aka the Obama Administration is subsidizing the Obesity Business. Also, I find it hard to believe that Michelle Obama practices what she preaches=look at her body type. The American Government is the worst role-model for healthy living. We will have more obese, deaf and learning disabled kids than ever before.
