1 Item Less From My Food List...

I'm so gonna exclude sharkfin in any of my menu in future.
After watching Sharkwater, I'm even more determine...
Sharkfins are in fact tasteless, it only adds texture to the broth.

Here are some ignorant myths:

Myth:
Sharks do not contract cancers & doesn't get sick as often as humans, so consuming sharkfins will prevent & cure cancer. Sharkfins are anti-cancer agent.
Fact:
They DO have cancers & does not help fight lung cancer nor prevent it.
They also have high level of mercury, due to water pollution.

Myth:
Sharks are dangerous, we must get rid of them.
Fact:
Sharks kill 5 people each year.
tigers & elephants - 100
execution - 2,400
illegal drugs - 22,000
road accidents - 1.2 million
starvation - 8 million
Sharks killed by humans - 26 to 73 million

So, the next time you're having sharkfin on your dining table, think again.
