I love fish. I love tuna. I love salmon. And you know what?

[Deja Q]

I don't care if there's enough mercury in each portion to fill 50 trillion anal thermometers. I'll still eat fish and enjoy it! :P

Man, we're all going to die at some point. May as well live and feel prosperous for a while.

Okay, so then I looked this tidbit up. Why must corporations, with this one being the latest example of MANY, continue to harm fish and PEOPLE in their despicable quest to make the most cash in the smallest period of time? Surely life should be cherished; not wa$ted? By all corporations that exist in that form of pollution and dumping? Gross. Far more gross than my crass joke up above.

Our planet is currently being trashed by the worst form of trailer trash: unfettered corporate american greed.

P.S. sorry to rag on "that company" again, but when it comes to activism, it's best to leech off of the more popular companies doing what its constituents claim is a bad thing. I won't except any company, period. Our lives are not property of one single political party, but the underlying earth that is the only planet we can live on.

Yes, really. The combination turns a lot of people off but is delicious.

On the serious side, if we don't get the mercury, and other toxins, under control, the fish themselves will die. Do you know how many people in the world depend on fish as a staple? A lot.

2. try to move to smaller fish

I used to eat a lot of tuna and salmon too but it just isn't worth it to go overboard even if you're protein loading. Have you tried the little guys like Smelt? Mmmm, smelt! Yes, we need to be active against those who are poisoning our fish and our waters, but in the meantime, in case the problem isn't solved immediately, it is best to protect our brains from mercury overload. I'll never give up my tuna entirely but the daily can of tuna has to go.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
