Yeah, a common reason why people tend to deal with algae problems in their fish tanks is that they lack a complete ecosystem to deal with all types of algae produced. You either have to rely more heavily on external filters or introduce the missing parts.

yeah I buy 20 from pak n save, split them down the middle add a little bit of butter, pepper, a slice of spring onion and grill them in the oven. if I'm feeling fancy i'll do a little bit of ginger and garlic in each one as well.

then I use on half shell and scoop out the other halves and sit on my bench and eat them all fresh out the oven. it's like my mid-week ritual. it feels like I'm eating real food like a real human should. it makes me want to kill and eat my enemies.

Yeah that's why you have to be careful when cooking and eating shellfish. Since they're basically at the bottom of the food chain they filter out any and all organic matter they can get out of the water. This obviously means they can have some nasty diseases that can fuck you up if you don't cook them carefully.

Pigs will generally eat anything you give them that's why in ye olden times they were more dangerous to eat (which is probably why a lot of religions said to not eat pork), this is because by eating literally anything they can get a bunch of really nasty parasites that will fuck you up royally. Nowadays however pork has a lot of regulation on what you can feed them and health checkups and all that shit so pork is very safe to eat. You can cook it like steak really with varying degrees of doneness it's that safe to eat now.

That's an interesting theory I've never heard before, I always assumed it was because pork can be a bit risky to eat since they are more prone to some really nasty parasites that can seriously damage us.

Goats are pretty destructive animals, and have been proven to cause aridization, since they eat saplings and strip bark from older trees. Several islands used to have relict forests before the introduction of goats. Also goats eat eggs and new-born/hatched animals, if they can find them.

the bigger issue is the bacterial byproduct from algae blooms...which in turn are toxic to plant life and the fish it feeds. There isn't a way to eat mussels or oysters from toxic waters.

I think it makes for a good thought experiment as to whether or not people would be put off by the thought of eating grass and forage that had been turned into a perfect replication of a beef steak by some obscured process. How much does a person need to distance themselves from what their food is made of? We kind of saw bits of this with that plant-based food trend, but that was really kind of hollow.

Be careful in a freshwater tank. Fresh water muscles are fish parasites for the first part of their life. If they spawn in your tank, they could fuck up you fish hard, and if those muscles are fat and happy, they will spawn.

There are freshwater clams that doen't come with this issue, but they usually need much harder water than freshwater muscles.

Regarding Piggery-raised pigs being fed shit: I had a buddy who worked on a piggery. Apparently, pigs have very fast and inefficient digestive tracts. They're lined up at the trough 3 deep, fed corn and immediately shit yesterday's undigested corn mixed, of course, with some shit. The next pig in the feeding line eats that, and the one behind it . . . . Apparently after the 3rd pig, it's pure shit and can't be fed to another pig.

The problem with the Flint River water was that while it was perfectly safe at its source and even leaving the treatment plant, its composition caused it to corrode the city's aged lead pipe infrastructure anyways. Dumping mussels into the source would have done nothing, and in fact probably would have just lead to a bunch of dead mussels since they don't do well in water with elevated chlorine levels.

They're delicious but I hate how every restaurant leaves them in the shells. Inedible shit on plates is cancer especially when it's mixed into something like pasta.

Yeah, I need at least 6 months before I can enjoy mussels again after a grittening.

what the fuck do you mean? How are they supposed to be served?

..serve them _without_ the shell?! this is not rocket science or overly complex

Ok, but that is so completely strange a concept. I live in country were mussels are very commonly eaten and I have never heard of that.

I mean, if you can buy them shell-less in supermarkets, I'm sure restaurants can serve in the same way, unless it's to annoy customers on purpose "HAHA! I love when these idiots waste their time taking them mussels off their shells, smearing sauce on their hands, and eating them cold!! fuuuuuuuck them I hate cooking this stupid-ass dish"

my ex gf and I got horrifyingly bad food poisoning after eating a stone pot of mussels from an upscale french bistro, and we're not far from the atlantic. I got hit less bad than her, but I had less mussels. What the fuck is with shellfish and sometimes making you shit yourself for an entire day? It's awful. None of the mussels looked dead.

The shells must taste delicious with all that cheese stuck to them.
