Salmo....I am disappointed again. I looked forward to your take on this sensationalistic story until I read your post. I'm sorry but I call major poo poo on your Reagan/Republican rantings.....come on! And where did I say I trusted the FDA or even gave a sheet what they think about anything? I simply pulled out a very small contrarian view from a very one sided story. The PI today treated this story like the attacks on 9/11. I was quite taken by the huge front page splash given to this new revelation that there is unwanted crap in our food chain.....DUH!!! Hellllloooooo. Oh and they did say that the worst of it is in Europe both in the contamination of the fish and the feed. Even though our standards are lower than some would like they are strict by comparison the the rest of the world.

And your Pew group is a "green" group that has a definite agenda. Somehow you and they are looking at the big bad wolf in this which is BIG GREEDY BUSINESSES...arrrrghhh..those slime bags making us eat poisen so they can make the almighty dollar.... Killing our children for a buck...Come on all you whiners.....get off of it already. The FDA I think is politically biased in the sense that it tries to balance all the studies so as not to put every one out of business with regulations trying to make everything pristine. Even if you go live in the deep woods of Alaska on nothing but natural food you will die of something....might even be cancer.

Wasn't there a study once that said Coke had poisens in it and that you would die of cancer from drinking it?...the study turned out to be on mice and the sick mice had to drink what would be like an oil super tanker full of Coke to a human before getting cancer?

There is absolutely no question in my mind that the BIG BUSINESS of commercial fishing is behind the incredible negative attention fish farming has gotten...Then of course Seattle's answer to Pravda, the PI, jumps all over it because the Bush administration was earlier bashed for looking at expanding fish farming...So if fish farming is bad then ...Bush BAD.....good logic huh?
