[2009]

[Aajonus]

And I'd like people to get fat to have the buffering to protect them from the poisons in the body.

Do you have a question, Lorraine?

[Attendee]

Yeah. I told you I'm gonna go over it Italy soon. I've seen a lot of squid and octopus there. Is it okay to eat that stuff?

[Aajonus]

Well, they're farmed.

[Attendee]

They're farmed.

So, stay with like, if there's clams, oysters, you said they're not-

[Aajonus]

Farmed oysters and clams, all they can do is put a fence out in the ocean and the government tells them that they have to call it farmed, but they're still eating whats out in the ocean.

Sometimes what they'll do is they'll do is, you've got a baby clam attached to another clam and they won't grow till they're full size, unless they're broken off and transplanted. So, that's what they do in these farms. They're still getting fed just by the ocean.

[Attendee]

So, cod and like red snapper.

Are those okay?

[Aajonus]

Those are ocean. Tuna, swordfish, I mostly eat swordfish. When I'm in the Philippines, I mostly eat tuna.

[Attendee]

You can't get salmon anymore.

[Aajonus]

No, I don't like salmon too much because it's too much from lakes and they've set a lot of genetically modified salmon loose and they're crossbreeding now.

[Attendee]

So, we're eating GMO salmon?

[Aajonus]

Yeah, GMO salmon. So, I don't touch salmon anymore.

[Attendee #2]

How about salmon from from Tasmania?

[Aajonus]

Tasmania be okay.

[Attendee #2]

Because Newport Beach, they fly it in every day.

[Aajonus]

Tasmania's an island off of Australia.

[Attendee]

But it says wild. Isn't that okay if it says wild?

[Aajonus]

No, because now they let they've let the salmon, the genetically modified salmon breed with the wild salmon. They're only talking about Santa. Yeah.

Anything that's from the ocean that isn't salmon.

[Attendee #2]

What about Alaska? Salmon from Alaska.

[Aajonus]

Doesn't make any difference. That's where they mainly let them loose.
