Don't go to McDonald's

you are mixing things up a bit. don't eat tilapia or anything for that matter from china. tilapia made in usa or canada is still a healthy source of food.

Damn what is safe to eat

This all has to do with the main problem which is greed! The fish farmer wants higher yields while using less land and faster maturation growth within a short period of time. Tilapia is not the problem BUT GREED INDUCED PROBLEMS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. Why use GMO feeds when he can use the principle of John Todd's self-feeding solar ponds which is made out of fiberglass reinforced plastic which are 1 foot wide to 5 feet high up to 5 feet wide to 5 feet high which allows sunlight to pass through and through.
Why use GMO feeds when he can use the principle of John Todd's self-feeding solar ponds which is made out of fiberglass reinforced plastic which are 1 foot wide to 5 feet high up to 5 feet wide to 5 feet high which allows sunlight to pass through and through. And save a lot of money by not buying GMO feeds, aeration equipment, electricity costs, water filtering equipment costs and the energy costs to run it? That sounds very ridiculous.
Using a layer of clean oyster shells or a mixture of diatomaceous earth granules and zeolite granules and azomite granules at a 25%/25%/50% ratio by volume will provide 1,000 to 10,000 to 100,000 times more surface area to be colonized by the aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria to breakdown fish waste ammonia into nitrates that feeds the free floating algae that feeds the Tilapia.
Further additional improvements were made by using floating cages of water hyacinths to prevent/stop/reverse water eutrophication, floating cages of azolla that fixes nitrogen from the air into the water to fertilize the algae that feeds the Tilapia and the azolla is also by itself a fish food that fish also eats, floating cages of mentha aquatica (aquatic mint) that produces long term lingering organic anti-pathogenic exudes to eliminate dangerous pathogens, and floating cages filled with a mixture of diatomaceous earth granules and zeolite granules and azomite granules at a 25%/25%/50% ratio by volume lined with geotextile fabric and planted with juncus lacustria that filters out any water wastes pollution. And a floating cage containing duckweeds with the bottom closed with the same stainless steel mesh, so that the fish will only eat the duckweeds growing beyond the stainless steel mesh and not end up exhausting the main duckweed breeding stock kept safe from the fishes.
And the water is mixed with a composite mixture of rock dust powders to remineralized the water to accelerate algae plant growth naturally without problems of plant diseases, pests, parasites, etc.
Why buy feeds when you can recycle fish wastes into feeds and simultaneously clean up and sanitize the water of the Tilapia pond and save money in the process? Using the improved version of the self-feeding solar ponds to raise Tilapia, Professor John Todd was able to achieve a water volume space ratio to fish at a ratio of 4 liters of water volume per Tilapia fish without any further inputs of energy, feeds, etc once the cycle is up and running! Ignoring these advantages of the improved version of Tilapia fish raising solar ponds that saves a lot of costs and other costly inputs is very suspicious indeed!
You Youtubers can falsely accuse me of being a conspiracy nut case when in fact I am not. For the evidences are all there for all to see! Monsanto has a hand in this to force itself into a growing Tilapia market for self-sufficiency minded individuals and families and groups and communities WHILE IGNORING THE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF IT'S DANGEROUS GMO PRODUCTS. And the Federal Government is also involved in destroying the reputation of the Tilapia by deliberately sabotaging the purity of independent self-sufficiency Tilapia food independence minded organizations by sabotaging the original purity and advantages of growing one of the several best fishes for aquaponics and aquaculture off-griders/homesteaders/survivalists/
bunkerers, and anti-doomsday re-civilizers who will revive civilization again after any civilizational collapse. -
These fish is very good, I caught many when I lived in Africa, these are called Kurpers in South Africa. Very good sport to catch them. You get many sorts, there are yellow ones too

Eating anything from China is not a good idea. I raise my own Tilapia on a high protein low fat diet.

fuck off

Fuck you stupid bitch

This is dum

American farm raised tilapia is safe, clean and very healthy. Don't put us in the same group as China. We work 14 hour days to bring the safest product to market. This is our life. 8 percent of all tilapia is farmed raised here in the USA. The reason you don't see any of our product at department store or grocery stores is china is good at under cutting prices. The Govt of China pays out a lot of money to farmers to keep prices low so thats whay you want see USA raised tilapia at walmart or kroger or publix.

Don't eat anything from China and not just tilapia.
-
Don't eat chicken goat and beef, all of them are raised these days

oh i am with you on that when i saw this tv show one time it destroyed my feelings for carp. and farm raised striped bass http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/dirty-jobs/videos/fish-waste-water/
-
what about wild tilapia?
-
What if we farm our own in an aquaponics system?
-
I eat it
