COnfused about fish and murcery

>>>>It's really not that bad.

For a rather simple chart illustrating the relative levels of

contamination, go here:

****Thanks for that great link! Nothing beats a visual representation for

clarity. But, my own feeling is that it IS that bad. I mean, is it just me,

or is there something wrong in a world where my state has to have a chart of

levels of mercury poisoning in a common food, that 50-100 years ago, had

none? And to make it even more surreal, there's a cartoon fish at the bottom

of the chart stating, " Fish is good for you. Eat fish low in mercury! "

Uh...how about not eating ANY mercury. Is that just too much to ask of the

world today?

Just a rhetorical question...I know the answer
