Not all olives, there are a few raw stores that sell truly raw sun cured olives. Anything in a can is most likely cooked.

The word "crushed" when used with olives does not mean the physical pressing down of the product. It actually indicates a slit being cut along the length of the olive which enables the olive to marinate and to mature. These are the preferred olives used by people who add various spices and flavours to their olives the crushing of the olive allows the olive to draw the flavour in. Check out Delphic's Olives range examples available on this website.

The best thing you can do for animals in your everyday life is to go vegan, or at least begin reducing your consumption of animal products. As a vegan, you automatically withdraw your support from industries that profit off of animal suffering and death. Factory farms will supply animal products cheaply for as long as people pay for them. Fortunately, the number of vegans has grown in recent years, and more people are starting to question the ethics of eating animals.

Culver Ducks are NOT FACTORY FARMED!!! Opps! Were we yelling? That term refers to confined housing, meaning cages. Culver ducks are raised in barns in flocks of 3-4,000. They start in brooder rooms at a temperature of 95 degrees Farenheit. We begin to drop the temperature two degrees each day until they reach an age of twenty-eight (28) days. By then, they are feathering and can handle cooler weather. thirty-five (35) days Culver Ducks are full-grown and feathered.

The Farm Land comprises the entire area of each Farm (other than the Farm Dwelling Site and related Driveway Area after it has been released to the possession of the Farm Owner), and consists of areas that are now, or will be, planted in coffee or another crop and other areas intended for ancillary farming uses (such as farm roads, berms, drainage diversions, irrigation facilities, maintenance and equipment areas, fallow areas and wind breaks) (collectively, the "Cultivated Land"), plus agricult.

Open net pens or cages are used to farm many cold water marine species such as salmon, flounder, halibut, cod and haddock and warm water species such as Pacific Threadfin and Amberjack. Shrimp, catfish and tilapia are usually grown in closed ponds. Rain

No, olives that have been processed for retail sale have been pickled and the antioxidant effect is dramatically reduced as a result. You would need to consume at least 4-6 ounces of olive oil a day to obtain the same antioxidant effect as one tablet of OLIVENOL™.

It is possible to grow olives in most regions of California. Olives are grown anywhere where the temperatures does not frequently fall below 20 degrees F any time during the winter. There are very large olive growing regions in the Central Valley as well as the North Sacramento Valley.

No, for oil the best maturity stage for ripe fruit flavor and good keeping quality is as the fruit is turning from yellow/green to purple on the outside skin and before the pulp turns black. Table olives are picked green and firm. But olives are also picked at all the other stages of ripeness depending on your desired style of oil.

Some meat eaters express concern that if people stopped eating meat, all the farmed animals would die of starvation or be set loose in the wild to destroy natural habitats. However, the economics of supply and demand make this scenario extremely unlikely. Each individual who goes vegan both reduces the overall consumer demand for animal products and leaves the meat, dairy and egg industries less money to raise and slaughter animals.

Polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly referred to as PCB's, occur in not only farmed Salmon, but also Wild fish, as well as Beef, Poultry, Pork, AND Dairy products. PCB's are colorless, have no smell and no taste. Salmon acquire PCB's from the food that they eat. PCB's occur in North American Salmon at about 10 parts per BILLION.

There are no commercially viable Atlantic salmon fisheries left in North America. If you are eating Atlantic salmon, it is from a farm. Atlantic salmon is the most commonly farmed species, but some B.C. farms raise Pacific Chinook (Spring or King) and Coho salmon. Retailers and restaurants often advertise “fresh” salmon. This usually means fresh from the farm - not from the fisherman. Be sure to ask restaurants and retailers if their salmon is farmed or wild.

We do NOT sell farmed salmon. We sell only 100% wild Alaska salmon and seafood! Wild Salmon is better for you, better for the environment, and has a superior taste. To learn more about the differences between wild and farmed salmon, you can visit www.alaskaseafood.org. Wild Alaska Salmon come from the cleanest waters and healthiest salmon runs in the world. They bring home all the nutrients of the sea providing for high levels of Omega 3, and superior taste.

There are a number of issues both environmental and ecological associated with farming fish, particularly carnivorous fish kept in open sea cages like salmon. Firstly there is the pollution issue, associated with organic waste from uneaten food and faeces falling through the cages and accumulating on the sea floor. Chemicals and treatments used on the salmon and pens can pollute the surrounding waters and accumulate in the sediments under the pens.

ASYLUM is run and controlled by Game Crazy. Mr. ASYLUM, our esteemed director of operations, will weigh in from time to time as well as a word from "THE PIT" - our hardcore game buyers. These guys scare even me with their knowledge and passion for gaming.

Salmolux uses both wild and farmed fish, as each have their advantages and each is preferred by some of our customers. Some prefer the consistent taste of farmed salmon, others prefer the often more robust flavor of wild fish. Both have a high content of heart-healthy Omega 3 oils. By utilizing both farmed and wild fish, the seafood industry satisfies the world's need for healthy seafood without depleting the resource.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in contrast to terrestrial farming systems, where the bulk of global production is based on a limited number of animal and plant species, more than 210 different farmed aquatic animal and plant species were reported in 2000.

New potential aquatic species are being studied and cultured each year creating a need for specialized formula feeds and feed ingredients. If we are to sustain a strong aquaculture industry with continued growth, we will need quality feed products that meet the diverse nutritional needs of the various species cultured. Fish, like any other animal require nutrients to stay alive, healthy, active and grow.

There are several reasons why farmed salmon is not considered sustainable (please visit Farmed and Dangerous for more information). The main concerns are transfer of disease and parasites to wild stocks, pollution and the net loss of protein. Penned salmon live at high density that makes them susceptible to disease outbreaks. In particular, sea lice, which occur naturally, can achieve high densities on salmon in net-cages.
