We are all eating much more fish
than we used to - but are we eating the fish we think we are?
Official figures show that global consumption of fish and seafood per
person is rising steeply - but research also reveals that much of what gets
sold turns out to be not as described on the packet.
Cheap fish is being substituted for
expensive fish without the consumer knowing. Moreover, new varieties, never
before consumed, are being detected in fish dishes.
This sounds rather familiar doesn’t
it, seems no matter what diet we choose there will always be the issue of -
never mind what it says on the packet what’s actually in this?
You’ve got horsemeat lasagnes, bone
and entrails chicken nuggets, those god awful 1% meat sausages and now fish
that isn’t the fish on the packet, it’s a wonder we eat anything at all.
And yet the companies who provide
us with these cheap imitation foods are all raking it in, because they’ve got
us over a barrel in the sense that we have to eat, they’re exploiting the fact
we don’t have a choice, all wrong really.
What’s equally depressing is they’re
being allowed to get away with it.
