An IMAS-led study reveals the environmental footprint of fish feeds depends more on where feed ingredients are sourced than on whether they are fish- or plant-based. It shows that knowing where & how ingredients are produced is key to reducing environmental footprint 🐠https://tinyurl.com/3fk5sjn9

If this is true, then it's scary.
When I was 18 months old, I nearly died from encephalitis that I contracted as a complication from chicken pox. It is >10 x more likely to occur with measles.

GET YOUR CHILDREN VACCINATED, PEOPLE
According to the Houston Chronicle, public health officials in Texas think that there are likely 200-300 people now infected with measles. If confirmed, this outbreak is already out of control. H/t to @mickiemo.bsky.social for the heads up. www.chron.com/news/houston...
