Let’s not forget that a lot of our fish is contaminated with mercury and other nasty stuff. In our region, Lake Roosevelt fish are on the list as are the fish in the Snake River impoundments such as Brownlee reservoir.

Albacore tuna is another fish of concern.

I do think it's interesting that our government was quick to outlaw English and Canadian beef. In Canada, like here so far, there was only one cow found to be infected. We immediately banned all Canadian beef. Now when the tables are turned Canada has said they will not ban our beef and our Government says its safe to eat the meat.

Gee I wonder if the cattle ranchers are serious campaign contributors or if they do a bit of lobbying. Why is a sick Canadian cow so much more of a concern than a sick American cow?

And . . Did you hear why they call it PMS?? Because the name Mad Cow Disease was already taken!!!!
