Busy keeping Norwegian Fish clean

The Facebook-campaign has been a tremendous success! 1.100 “likes” in a little over a day – not bad for a Norwegian site! The petition is a little slower, but we are getting there! Remember the population is only 4.9 millions.

The 3 first and biggest head-lines in today’s news on the main Norwegian news channel, NRK, was spot on regarding additives in meat and fish. SURPRISINGLY several CEO’s of several large supermarket chains bluntly admitted that they don’t eat the same meat and fish (containing phosphates) that they sell to Norwegian consumers – nor feed it to their kids. That says it all – I rest my case (for now)…

Norwegian Fish – (about) to become a Scam! SIGN PETITION TODAY! Norsk Fiskesvindel – SKRIV UNDER I DAG!

There has been a rotten hustle going on with Norwegian meat for years. It has become a “tradition” pumping the meat full of salt, water, phosphate and other additives to increase the weight, change the color and prolong shelf-life. NOW this scam is about to become an excuse for doing the same with The Norwegian Gold – FISH…! Already some Norwegian fish factories are illegally injecting fish with water, salt and phosphate – and now they want it legalized. Not only water and phosphate is going to be injected into the fish, but also fish-guts…!!! For what? For increasing weight and change color, so you – the consumer – won’t know that the fish is actually old and grey – because the fish meat is still white and shiny…!

What a SCAM! My grandfather Rolv Bjugn was a honest, hard working fisherman and it took a lot to make him angry. But I guarantee you he would not have been happy if he had watched the news yesterday..!
