Farming The Seas: A Movie Review

Seas. Fishes. One of the hardest thing about this film is that I have not been convince that we are lacking fish in the sea. It has not been proven, nor will we ever be able to prove it. Yet, one of the most convincing moments in the film is the notion that something out there, most likely humans, are killing the fishes. Or at least changing over millions of years of simple DNA being passed over. There is a reason why we should not mess with DNA. But then again, humans are humans. Sigh. Since we do have the technology available, then why not use it to help increase food production? Yet, I'm not so sure of this answer. I mean, I believe in humans to make a difference and I can rely on technology to give us what we need. My concern lies in the unknown. I know that I love to eat fish.

Yet, if one day I wouldn't be able to tell if this was manufactured by humans or this was caught by fishermen...that's the day that I'm afraid of. Will the taste of man-made fish be significantly different than natural fish? Some have already tasted a man-made fish and claim that there is no difference, while others have claimed that the fish doesn't taste the same. I know that as a fisherman, fishing with my grandfather, I rather catch a real fish and eat it while avoiding fake fish. My argument would be this: it just doesn't seem natural.
