I don’t know about you, but I’m convinced that I would be better off if I were a fish. I’m not saying that because I don’t like fish, because I do. Just saying that fish like to eat other fish. I’m not saying that because I don’t like insects, because I do. Just saying that I don’t like to eat other things because they’re more expensive than fish. And so I’m not saying that because I don’t like those things either.
I think most of us probably agree that the most expensive things in life are the things that we can’t live without. So, the reason why we don’t like to eat fish is because we’d rather not pay the price of getting to eat something. But of course, if you were to ask me why we don’t like to eat insects or other similar things, I’d say that we just don’t like it because of their health consequences.
For the most part, most of us do like to eat plants, but theyre not the cheapest kind of plants. So, when we say we dont like to eat fish, its an example of our preference being more in the form of we dont like it because it causes us to be unhealthy (or at least to suffer from a lack of vitamins).
Fish are probably the cheapest food on the planet, so when you look at the price of fish, you get what I mean. But why would we be healthy or healthy if we dont like eating them? The very fact that we dont like eating them (or fish for that matter) doesn’t make them less healthy, but they are probably healthier for us to eat.
The reason why we like fish so much is because it is cheap, it is easy to find, and it is good for us. But why should we eat something that is cheap, easy to find, and good for us if it causes us to be unhealthy.
Well, if we really want to know, it’s because we like to eat it. We like to eat things that are cheap, easy to find and good for us.
A lot of what we like about fish is that they are cheap. They are easy to find. They are good for us. But they are also a great source of mercury, a neurotoxin that is harmful to our brains and body. We know this because we’ve all seen fish caught with tainted hooks, fish that has had mercury added to its water, fish that is caught with nets that are contaminated with mercury, and fish that is caught from rivers that are contaminated with the toxin.
