You can't just feed me sushi and then quietly snicker behind the camera!
What's wrong!
People eat sushi with facts
We told people they were only eating sushi
Oh my God!
The dream come true!
Tastes really good. It's really good.
Then we gave them some sushi facts to read.
I have belief in free meal but...
Oh here it is.
God fucking damn it.
No! Don't ruin sushi for me please!
A study by the WWF, the wildlife one not the wrestling one,
found out over a third of the Wild Atlantic salmon populations in North America and Europe
were endangered, and moreover,
were on the brink of extinction in Portugal, Estonia, Poland, and the United States.
Now I feel horrible eating a salmon right now.
It's like Nemo's cousin over here.
It's in my teeth. It's stuck in between my teeth.
Major recovery efforts have been put into place, but salmon is still considered to be threatened
(and in some ecosystems endangered)
in many places around the world.
How does that make you feel?
Salmon are dying, and it's not because of bears, it's because of us.
It will be fucked up if we just like, let it sit here, and did nothing for anyone.
Yeah, I mean, if I die, I want someone to eat me.
Salmon (especially farmed salmon) are known to contain PCB's,
which are industrial chemicals that can have serious long-term health effects,
including the likelihood of certain cancers and negative effects on the immune system,
the nervous system, and the endocrine systems.
Because of these levels, it's recommended fresh and frozen Wild Pacific salmon can be eaten twice a month.
Oh shit!
but fresh and frozen farmed Atlantic salmon should only be eaten once every two months.
What the fuck! Yo!
No, but I would have like, weekly sushi dinners with my friends. I'm not kidding you.
Yeah but are you gonna have that second bite of salmon? Cause I am.
We're all gonna die anyway. That's fine.
It's a good way to look at it.
Human waste and the toxic chemicals,
heavy metals from industrial and agricultural wastes flow and run off from rivers and into the sea.
These waste pollutants can cause diseases, mutations, birth defects,
reproductive difficulties, behavior changes, and death in marine animals.
And large fish that are generally favored in sushi, such as tuna and mackerel are thus the most highly toxified.
So all of this is poison.
Expensive delicious poison.
We're killing them, and we shouldn't, and they're killing us back.
Right? That's essentially what's happening here.
It's just some sick fucking cycle.
United States imports up to 90% of its seafood, and a huge portion of that comes from southeast Asian countries like Thailand,
which has been known to have built its massive seafood industry on slave or indentured labor as well as human trafficking.
Damn it.
The shrimping industry is known to be especially bad, and because of the way shrimp is packaged,
it is nearly impossible to decipher which has been tainted by slave labor.
Fuck!
If you are eating pre-peeled shrimp in the US, it has most likely been touched by slave labor.
Alright, we're done. We're done here.
That's the last straw.
That's terrible, man.
Yeah, we're fucked.
I would like those people to be employed, not slaves.
And if they are enslaved, then we should be doing the peeling.
Yes. Absolutely.
We're going to hell, I mean, I'm going there for other reasons but this just added to the list.
What this video tells me is I'm for sure gonna start asking.
Will it stop me from eating the sushi? God, to be honest, I fucking don't know.
I don't know if it tastes good anymore.
It kind of took the taste buds out of me, hearing those facts.
If I'm eating poison, it's my stupid decision,
but contributing to a greater problem like slave labor or human trafficking, that's really really bad,
so if that is the case, then we should definitely not be buying peeled shrimp.
Couldn't have said it better! Dude!
