POPSHealthy eaters putting wild fish stocks at risk In order for fish to properly produce the desired omega-3 fatty acids they need to eat other wild fish. Raising fish in farms, essentially hand feeding them, does not allow fish to produce the desired healthy properties for which fish are valued. Herbaceous fish, such as tilapia, carp and trout are fed fishmeal and oil solely to increase their yields. These fish are beneficial to humans without the further depletion of wild fish. So what you say? This practice places an unnecessary strain on already over fished wildlife and unfavorably affects the price of fish. Farm fish do not taste as good as wild fish, they are not as healthy for us as wild fish and they are endangering wild fish habits wherever farm fisheries are built.

POPSThe Strangest Things Pulled Out of Peat Bogs more: Murder wasn’t all that happened out on the bogs. Multiple trepanated skulls, that is to say, skulls with holes drilled in them, have been found. Based on the use of the procedure in medieval times, one hypothesis is that the “operation may have been performed to remove a blood clot or a less-tangible thing like a spirit” from an individual. Even now, there’s still a small number of people who think drilling holes in their skulls is therapeutic. While we don’t know much about the people who wandered these bogs thousands of years ago, analytical chemistry has helped identify substances that make them seem startlingly modern.One corpse’s hair appears to have been coated with primitive hair gel, made from “vegetable oil mixed with resin from pine trees found in Spain and southwest France.” The man lived around 300 B.C.
