I agree that salmon and other fish are an exceptionally good food. At least for those of us who like their taste.

It is interesting how the study translates 1/100th of the FDA allowable amount of a contaminant to a limitation of 1 meal per month for Washington farm raised salmon.

While there seems to be many reasons to restrict the aquaculturists the PCB levels hardly seems to be one of them.

I think most of us know that the levels of persistent toxins in the environment are alarming and that everything we can do to reduce the continuing addition to this problem is important.

If we can find ways to reduce the environmental levels of these contaminants then that seems even better.

It hardly seems helpful to reduce credibility with chicken little alarmist sensationalism. The reality of the situation is motivation for change in itself.

But then again...
