Tilapia/Trout fillet....

Do you not think over time our bodies will adjust?

No, I do not. We'll adjust about as well as the dinosaurs and other species of the genus Homo did. Nobody on earth is immune to mercury poisoning. Your idea that our bodies will adjust through some sort of evolution or natural selection, assumes that someone can survive the poisoining and pass that immunity on to his offspring. That's not going to happen. And the scary thing about mercury is, it's here to stay. It doesn't break down. The only way to get it out of the environment is to lock it back up where it was in the first place and just how long did it take to do that before? How long did it take to make that coal we're digging up and releasing into the atmosphere? Hundreds of millions of years, that's how long.

Ok, I finally got around to buying the tilapia, and found out (TraderJoes) that it was from Indonesia. (bad right?). Crap. They dont have trout.

They do have Salmon from Canada. Is that ok?

Also, what about Whole Foods? That's the only other store I can think of local, besides Walmart and Target.

I believe that is where tilapia is always from, unless farmed. Should be fine.

[ConcinusMan]

The tilapia is fine. Virtually all tilapia in the stores is farmed. The only real difference is that some countries use environmentally unfriendly farming practices. The fish is the same. If it's imported to the U.S. it is inspected and I'm sure the fish itself fine. Not sure about "canadian" salmon. Canada covers a lot of ground. Basically anything from remote arctic /subarctic regions is going to be very clean.

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh.. crap.

It is farm raised. It says:

TILAPIA FILLET
[Farm Raised]
(Product of Indonesia)

[ConcinusMan]

So? It's fine.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah ok. I said that cause Chantel said "unless farmed".

Well CRAP!! Now I gotta go back!

[kibakiba]

Unless it's farmed, as in, it comes from other places when it is farmed. Not that it's bad that it's farmed.

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh....oops.

[ConcinusMan]

I'm still totally confused as to what she meant. It's all farmed, and I have yet to find any in stores that wasn't from another country. None of that really matters. It's all good.
