Travelling is education. Now I know where all our salmon originates. After all, even though the oceans have been exploited to their full extent, the price of salmon still plummets.

On my cruise through Norway’s fjords was the first time in my life that I saw huge fish farms. We kept seeing more and more of them from the ship. One of them is what you see to backboard on the picture I took during a Norwegian foggy sunrise.

It seems so easy. The oceans are empty, so all we have to do is domesticate fish and produce it by way of agrarian industry. The lector on our ship assured me that today the industrially grown salmon is no longer distinguishable by its taste from wild salmon. He said the reason for this is that the salmon is fed with fresh Krill, which is “harvested” from the southern hemisphere, near the Antarctic.

On hearing this, I get really desperate. So now even the last reserves on this world are emptied out.
