Have you ever actually SEEN a fish farm? Something other than what you read
online? I have. Arkansas is full of them (along with rice fields). The
ones I've seen are not overcrowded. I don't know what unhappy fish look
like but they didn't appear to be bothered. Chemicals? I'd rather eat farm
raised fish than try to eat fish pulled from the heavily polluted
Mississippi river.
