That's a pretty good article actually.
posted:
Americans ate 475 million pounds of tilapia last year, four times the amount a decade ago, making this once obscure African native the most popular farmed fish in the United States. Although wild fish predominate in most species, a vast majority of the tilapia consumed in the United States is “harvested†from pens or cages in Latin America and Asia.
Known in the food business as “aquatic chicken†because it breeds easily and tastes bland, tilapia is the perfect factory fish; it happily eats pellets made largely of corn and soy and gains weight rapidly, easily converting a diet that resembles cheap chicken feed into low-cost seafood...
Last year, more than 52 million pounds of fresh tilapia were exported to the United States, mostly from Latin America, as well as 422 million more pounds of frozen tilapia, both whole and fillet, nearly all from China, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
That's a lot of freaking fish.

Farmed fish is VERY unhealthy, most fish you buy at the store is farmed. Wild fish should be consumed infrequently due to bio-accumulation issues pertaining to heavy metals and other toxins as well as environmental issues relating to by-catch...

I believe that's only certain kinds of fish. Salmon, for example, is found to be pretty safe. Tuna, not so much.

Generally less healthy. 
All the best fish from a nutritional point of view (salmon, mackerel, etc) spend at least part of their lives in the ocean.

You are on crack.
Tilapia has a lot of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, B12, niacin,and selenium. Of course there are foods with greater nutritional value; however, to suggest that tilapia has "very little" nutritional value just isn't factual at all.
As far as flavor, to each their own. I've found that tilapia is great in fish tacos. We have it every once in awhile. I'd suggest that anyone trying a tilapia taco next to a "mud" taco would certainly know which one was actually edible and tasty.

Tilapia have very low omega 3 and very high omega 6. So pretty much no.
It does have a fair amount of protein. If you are just looking for protein it isn't a bad choice. But compared to other fish it is poor nutritionally.
In general cold water fish are better nutritionally than warm water fish.

I have no time for cheap crappy fish.
Salmon, Tuna, Shark and Swordfish.
One of the best meals I ever had were Shark Fajitas at Epazote in Del Mar, out on the porch watching the San Diego sunset.
Talipia at Walmart? Wigger please.

Swordfish is overrated. And tuna should only be eaten raw (aside from the scraps).
For everyday eating I prefer snapper for white fish or spanish mackerel and other similar blue-skinned fish (sardines, for example).

Escolar tastes totally amazing, but if you eat too much it gives you the oily poops pretty bad.
I really like dolphin fish as well.
