Should We Stop Eating Fish?

Farmed fish have been found to contain contaminants that would scare us to death if we just knew what the contaminants do once they are consumed. Now Gulf, and soon Atlantic, seafood will contain chemicals used to "breakup the floating oil" in the Gulf Oil Flow. Don't laugh this off, and don't depend on the Government's Food & Drug folks to talk straight because there are economical reasons to hush up the facts. Common sense should be the determining factor - water (oil & breakup chemicals) from the Gulf will enter the Gulf Stream then move up the entire east coast. All sea life will absorb the contaminants used to breakup the oil then when we eat the bounty the Atlantic has to offer we will become contaminated. Common sense questions - 1. Will the contaminants kill the sea life? 2. Will the contaminants kill, or destroy tissue in certain human organs?

I happen to love seafood, and I am aching for those who make their living from the Gulf and Atlantic Ocean because their way of life will soon be gone. Recovery from the so-called "spill" will take our lifetime. The Seafood Industry globally will be effected when the movement of the Gulf waters complete their global trek. The damage will last throughout our lifetime so what are we to do? Will it ever be safe to eat Seafood again? So where are we going to get our Omega's?

Now for some good news as a result of the Oil-Spill..............

Some companies are ordering non-contaminated oysters from Mexico, that's the only solace for now..
