Environmental factors determine the sex of embryotic crocodiles while in the eggs...all eggs start as females, but if it gets too warm, they will all change to males, and if it warmer again, they change back to females...

Did you know farmed salmon has color added to it?

I just found out today.
Naturally, it is a light grey.

frustrated

I suspect they try to imitate the naturally colored wild-caught and/or red sockeye salmon. whoa


"Color added" on a label for salmon and salmon products means that the salmon were given a feed which contains a pigment called astaxanthin. When the feed is digested, the astaxanthin is absorbed into the fish's flesh giving the fillets or steaks a reddish or 'salmon' color."

what's wrong with people?? I could care less what color a fish is, why do they? Everything we eat has some kind of chemical additive added to it, no wonder why the world is so messed up...



There is nothing wrong with me for pointing out what some people may not know.

I like knowing if something has been altered from its natural state. What is wrong with people that don't want to know about their food?

I wasn't talking about you, unless it was your idea to change fish color with chemicals for no apparent reason...

Real Salmon...........

I sometimes buy that artificial s*i*.. The factory processed,somewhat fish taste.. kind of fish chunk looking stuff.

The coloring comes of on your fingers.

I don't care, it hasn't killed me and it taste good.
