I just heard that the tuna isn't a good thing now because of the radiation from

Japan that is coming across the water and affecting the tuna.  And for the

sewage a freind told me that there are whole vitamins that can go through the

person and end up in the sewage system.  Some people flush meds down the drains

instead of properly disposing of them.  I have taken mine out of bottles and

put in trash that goes to landfills but I guess that could get back in the water

system eventually.  But it is better than flushing them.   We couldn't use

water a week ago for several days because of finding ecoli in the drinking water

(from fecal matter).  Not a good thing.  We drink bottled spring water but we

had been brushing our teeth in the water from the tap.  We do try to keep

distilled water.  Used to have a distiller but left it in AR.  Takes too long

and we drank more than that.   We do filter some water.   Usually with the

fish that are farmed,

they have them much too tight and that causes stress to them and causes us to

have extra enzymes or whatever caused from their stress.  Probably more trash

on the bottom too that might have bad things in it.  Too much for me to

remember so I'll just have to do the things I can remember and try to eat more

of my own growth, but I haven't had a wonderful green thumb when it came

to veggies.  I'll keep trying.

Carolyn,

Good for you, not eating orange roughy any more. It's on the endangered

food fish list. Whole Foods doesn't sell any fish on this list any more,

bless them! Tilapia is recommended as a substitute, but tilapia is

always farm raised, as is catfish. I've been to a tilapia farm and it

looked fine, except for the food. They are fed a corn/soy (read GMO and

wrong omega fatty acids) kibble like dry dog food. I won't eat either,

or any other farm raised fish unless it's in a restaurant and I don't

have any choice, such as on a seafood platter. Don't worry about

catfish. They are bottom feeders, as are shrimp, crabs, lobster,

flounder, and other fish. They only keep what they need to make healthy

bodies and aren't polluted. Chemical pollution might be another

problem, though, but if they're polluted with chemicals, so are other

fish. Blood pressure medicine, antibiotics, diuretics, diabetes meds,

and other medications all show up in both salt water and fresh water

fish along the coastlines. All it takes is for a sewage treatment plant

to be in the area.
