Re: Salmon/arsenic/mercury

[Guest guest]

That stinks. We love shrimp. DH loves salmon. I have several cans of it

just sitting in my cupboard. Too cheap to throw it out and too worried to

use it. More and more I see why many people are forgoing the meat. Trouble

is that unless you grow it, I can't see that the vegetables and grains are

that much better.

Exactly! And my trouble is that although I grow a lot of my own veggies,

the field next to me is filled with pesticides and ammonia and who knows

what other chemicals. So I'm wondering how much is going into my garden and

if my growing my own is doing any good what-so-ever!
