We aim to stop unnecessary fishing by 2035. To achieve this, we offer alternatives to fish products. Fish oil for omega-3 is completely unnecessary, because omega-3 is produced by algae. 25% of the total fish catch is used for the production of omega-3. 75% is used for consumption and that is also far too much. That is why we try to get as many people as possible to simply stop eating fish. Not only for environmental reasons, but also for your own health. In the majority of fish, toxic substances such as mercury, PCBs and dioxins are found. You don’t want to eat that. That is why we participate in Fish Free February (FFF). The entire month of February is dedicated to fish-free living.
Several documentaries show how big the fishing industry is and what consequences it has on the ecosystem. Examples include the documentaries ‘Seaspiracy‘ from 2021, ‘Troubled Waters‘ from 2017 and ‘The end of the line’ from 2009. The scale, overfishing and impact of fishing on the environment are also highlighted here. Attention is also paid to the uncontrolled nature of the labels that are supposedly fish-friendly, plus the dark side of illegal fishing and slavery.
In order to meet the growing demand for fish, we humans like to give nature a helping hand. Our attempts to maintain fish stocks, breed them in controlled environments and the effects of this can be seen in documentaries such as ‘Artifishal‘ or ‘Farmed Norwegian Salmon – World’s Most Toxic Food’.
Sorry no pretty pictures, but if you eat fish, it is good to know where it comes from. At least we think so. Whatever you think, after watching these documentaries, we’ve lost our appetite for fish. What are you doing this February?
Omega-3 is good for your heart, brain and eyes. To reach your daily recommended quantity without any worries, take out a subscription. That way, you can be sure that you are always taking fresh algae oil. Go to the shop and choose the quantity and frequency that suits you. Of course, you can also order separately.
