Eating Sewer Salmon From the LA River

Lino Jubilado has been fly fishing in the Los Angeles River for over 40 years. Though most LA residents view the river as a polluted eyesore, to Lino, it’s a slice of nature’s paradise hidden within a big, bustling city. Amongst the trash and the concrete, Lino fly fishes for carp, bass and bluegill. But it’s the joy of catching carp that keeps Lino coming back to the river several times a week. Lino doesn’t usually eat the carp he catches from the LA River, but today is unusual.

@@CHICKENNUGGET69360 there is a YT channel called invisible people and it really changed the way I saw homeless people. One of the homeless man said he gets McDonald burgers all the time almost every day, even several times a day. He knew that people just being nice, but several junk food a day was to much and eventually it would end up in trash . More than food, what he needed was more of essential needs. Like soap, toothbrush, shampoo. It broke my heart when I saw him cried saying he's not comfortable in his own body since he couldn't get the chance to clean himself. It is just one example, I know that not every homeless is the same.

[@dusk5956]

I grew up fishing for food just like him. But instead of avoiding the reef he’s avoiding the shopping carts. Everyone please stop judging him. This is the way we’re supposed to get our food. We should be more disgusted of how the LA river got this way and how we can make it better.
