It makes Tilapia so easily farmed that Americans eat close to 500 million pounds of it a year. It also makes it bland and not particularly healthy for you. When its diet consists of manure, however, it’s basically like feeding them salmonella and E.coli. The large amount of antibiotics that are given to the fish to ward off infections from the manure — which is used as a cheap alternative to fish feed — makes the strains of salmonella and E.coli those fish catch extremely hard to eliminate.”
