The news today said what anyone with a half-open eye should have seen years ago -"Farmed Salmon have high levels of PCBs and should be avoided; don't eat them much".
This was a U.S. report, in the journal "Science",Jan 2004.

There is a lot of PCB and other dangerous chemiscals in the oceans.The dumping has been huge over the years, huge and often very very toxic. The entire centre of the Pacific ocean is a swilrling mass of plastic flotaing, breaking down, You can see it in the water when you sail over that large area.All fish eat it, they all get sick.
The whales that live under the Arctic ice have very very high levels of PCBs, thats why they have cancers all over them.If that water is that bad, think of how bad things are where we do the dumping!! its really obvious, they knew long ago about it... they did and said nothing, and we ate what bad food that we would have thrown out, for years, due to the lack of info -info that Govt. HAD ALL ALONG.

Eat nothing from the oceans at all!!!

Consumers do have the power. If you buy farmed salmon, or just failed to make sure that what you buy was not farmed, you encouraged them, you are the one who provided the money for them to expand.
YES, You. Not govt, because you should know by now that Govt is merely an arm of business anymore,and they see their duty as being "facilitators of business". Some of you [fools!]still believe GOVT is there to protect the citizens, but that has now been laid to rest many times over, by their failure to protect us.

In situations like the Farmed Salmon, many of the us known as the "Informed Public" knew it was bad, and for many reasons, any one of which would have been enough for me to not buy the product. Also, the lice they have, and the effect on wild salmon and environment.
Thats proves that the Govt was not trying at all to protect us. There are a million similiar examples.Protect yourself, educate yourself.

Avoid believing in any authority, protect yourself!!
