“Salmon is a heart-healthy fish and a source of many nutrients, most notably the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), vitamin B12, and selenium,” says Pike.

Salmon health benefits

There are many benefits of eating salmon, according to experts. Salmon is well-known for being a star on the fatty-fish scene.

Make sure it’s wild-caught, not farmed.

Is sunny dry weather good for you
Is eating healthy good for you?
Is going to the bathroom good for you?
Is drinking water good for you?
Is reading Yahoo pseudo-news good for you?

Good Grief!
Are there no actual intelligent actual-news reporters left on earth?

I buy Kirkland’s Alaskan salmon. It’s delicious and I eat it 2-3 times a week.

“I buy Kirkland’s Alaskan salmon.”

Is that in the freezer section? If so, that’s what we get, and it’s delicious. (Also the totals loins.)

I don’t like sushi, but if the salmon is good, I used yo buy a half pound and it raw when I was on a low-carb diet on Fridays. Instant protein dense meal.

I’ve been eating salmon since....well.....forever. Every few years another one of these articles come out that just...well... reinforces my lifelong habit of eating salmon.

No doubt some leftist creepozoid will try to publish something about / against salmon, but I will just keep eating it.

There are signs of intelligence on this thread.

Can’t have that.

There must be a way for trolls to disrupt it.

Full disclosure: My right to eat Salmon is backed by the 2nd Amendment.

In 1964 or 65 we took a vacation from West Texas to San Diego, to Washington, across Canada and and down the east side of the Rockies back to the Permian Basin. We bought Smokes Salmon and Cheese in Oregon and ate on it all the way back. We never did get the smell of all that out of that old 63 Ford Country Squire. Smelled like cheese, smoked salmon and old socks until the day Pop got rid of it. It was a glorious vacation and one I’ll never forget.

It’s what I FEAST on when I’m on a cruise. My mouth is already watering at the prospect of unlimited smoked salmon on my next cruise in January.

It was disgusting to watch this and others like it. We quit eating farm raised pretty much anything except farmed clams and mussels.
