Quote by Mark Bittman

Let me pose you a question. Can farm-raised salmon be organic when its feed has nothing to do with its natural diet, even if the feed itself is supposedly organic, and the fish themselves are packed tightly in pens, swimming in their own filth?

Let me pose you a question. Can farm-raised salmon be organi

Summary

This quote questions the legitimacy of labeling farm-raised salmon as organic due to the discrepancy between their natural diet and the feed they are given. Despite the feed being labeled as organic, if it does not align with the salmon's natural diet, the authenticity of the organic claim is called into question. Furthermore, the quote highlights the negative conditions of fish farming, where the fish are overcrowded in pens and swim in unsanitary conditions, further challenging the notion of organic certification.

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
