Podcast #33: How Overfishing Impacts Humanity & The Risks of Eating Fish

February 27, 2018

Overfishing has been created by advanced fishing technology and an increased global demand for fish. This has caused several marine species to become extinct or endangered.

Overfishing facts are alarming

According to the latest data, US citizens consumed per capita 16.6 pounds of seafood in 2023 and is projected to be 16.5 pounds per capita in 2024.

Globally, the seafood business is a trillion dollar business, and when that much money is at stake, people become very greedy.

Fishing vessels as big as cruise ships troll the waters and have the ability to fish four times more fish than ever before.

Some scientists are predicting that seafood will eventually run out because of the global loss of seafood species.

Human slaves from Asia are forced to work in the the seafood industry aboard Thailand and Indonesia shipping vessels.

Examples of overfishing include bottom trawling, longline fishing and aggregating devices

In todays podcast, we break down how overfishing impacts human lives, and why it is everyone’s problem.

We also discuss fish toxicity and which high mercury fish to avoid.

Last but not least, is fish a healthy food to consume?

CBD Testimonials

Testimonial 1

“A few month’s ago I ordered your CBD oil on a whim and to be honest,  I didn’t really believe it could help me with my chronic pain. But since I started using the capsules, I’m a new person. At first I cut back on my opioids, but now I am almost opioid free for the first time in 10 years. Thank you so much!”

// MARK

Panic attacks are gone and my anxiety level is the best it has ever been. I also use the drops when I need a little extra anxiety protection. So grateful. Thank you Ordinary Vegan.”

“Hi – I wanted to share my experience with your CBD capsules in hope that it helps others. I have suffered with depression and anxiety on and off since the 70s. I am now 65. The happy tablets just didn’t seem to work anymore then someone mentioned CBD Oil. I have never looked back since taking it. Besides it changed my moods it also got rid of back pain I had. But basically I wake up in the morning feeling happy again :)”

” I recently tried Ordinary Vegan’s CBD Pain Cream after straining my neck moving furniture. The cream looks like more of a salve and is a beautiful pale green color and it smells divine . It massages easily into the skin and best of all IT WORKS! My neck had been killing me for days and after massaging it into my neck I felt almost instant relief.”

Testimonial 10

“I received my CBD cream from Ordinary Vegan. My hands were in a lot of pain and I could not bend my fingers. I applied some and within about 35 min. I could bend them and the pain was gone. I used it sparingly but messaged it in good but gingerly. I love the color and the smell. It doesn’t smell medicinal.”

// LEIGH

” I just ordered from your site last night and I’m so excited to start feeling better. On a more personal note…I’ve loved your other page and blogs for quite a long time now and when I saw that you started selling this product I knew right away that I trusted the quality and would try it. Thank you for everything”

Testimonial 13

“I have suffered from severe chronic pain for over 20 years. Got addicted to pain meds and took Acetaminophen daily for 20 years until it led to a severe ulcer. I finally decided to try your CBD oil capsules and it was a miracle from the moment I took them. No only did it improve my mood swings, it took away the pain and decreased the inflammation. I am a new man. Thank you!”

// WILLIAM

Testimonial 14

“I have a very rare, incurable and untreatable disease called Mitochondrial Disease. I had been bedridden for the last 4 years. I started CBD oil hoping to get some relief for my symptoms and what I ended up getting was my life back. I can still hardly believe it. We are all stunned, including my doctors. I can sit up, talk, walk and have even started exercising to try and regain muscle and endurance. For the first time in over 4 years I have hope. Please, please help move CBD forward. Its the only thing that has helped me. The only thing.”
