Prob scare tactics so they can start putting vaccines in our food and force the sheep to eat what they offer.
If you look at the evidence WE are the ones polluting our land, air and water. If we don't change, we will perish and the human race will no longer exist. Not sure how some of the folks on here feel about the Lord and the Bible, but I believe the bible tells us that there will be great starvation. Not because of the lack of food but because the food will be inedible. It also says that viruses will become plentiful and deadlier! Hmmm, I believe I've heard that the Covid virus keeps mutating and that the flu virus is becoming deadlier. Should I not be vaccinated, so that my immune system builds up to better fight off viruses? I'll take my chances in getting vaxed, thank you very much. Will it keep me from dying from a virus? I do know this, I think I'll listen to the doctors and not the comspiracy theorists.
Im fairly sure that eating fish I catch once every 2 to 3 weeks will not be my downfall
I eat fish once or twice a week myself and pretty much plan on doing so in the future. If you or anyone else doesn't think that humans are causing irreparable damage to our environment, you don't have a clue and pretty much don't care. I'm just glad there are still those of us out here that do!
I am a chemist by occupation, and I am embarrassed and saddened that PFAS were developed at all. More to the point, I am sickened by the attitudes of the management of chemical plants and manufacturing sites in general, that polluted the environment with no regard whatsoever to the effects of chemicals on the environment, wildlife health, and human health. Before there was the EPA conducting audits of chemical manufacturing sites, releases of toxic chemicals that ultimately end up in the water were not investigated or fined. Now that the EPA watches over the chemical industry so intensely, there are very few and maybe zero intentional chemical releases. The problem with PFAS and PCB is that they are so stable and don't naturally biodegrade to less harmful materials, so we all suffer the consequences of past indiscretions for thousands of years.I won't stop eating all of the fish I catch. I eat an estimated 30 pounds of fish from Lake Champlain every year, and have never experienced any symptoms of mercury toxicity despite the mercury advisory for that lake. Do what you can to make the fish safer to eat: prepare skinless fillets, trim the belly flap from the fillet, and don't eat too many of the bigger fish. If you live an otherwise healthy lifestyle then eating a lot of fish from NY or other fresh water is probably not going to be that detrimental from the average lake.
This is really good advice. Most harmful chemicals in. Fish are stored on the skin and fatty layers. Warrior’s advice about skinning and making your filets thinner by focusing on tail sections and the back. Younger fish typically have less contaminants of any kind and larger predator fish will almost always have more. Bluegills perch and crappie probably safest options.
Glad you find what I said was entertaining and nonsensical ramblings. You shun the Dr's about covid, the scientist's chemicals in our food and apparently the Lord and his teachings and I'm entertaining? I'm glad you think that you know more than all those I have mentioned. It must be great living in your own little world. I'm sure its kinda like sticking your head in the sand, like a flamingo on the cartoons. And I'm entertaining! Let's not do what happened last year. People come on here to socialize and give their opinions. If we are talking about fishing, I'll give "me" opinion. If we are talking about pollution, I'll give "my" opinion. And, just like I respect your opinion, you should respect mine! If you don't, I'll follow you around this site and make a dumb ars comment everytime you open your mouth! So from now on, if you don't like "MY" opinion, please keep your mouth shut and move on! I have the same right to make a comment here as you and everyone else, without ridicule!!! And, I'll not let you or anyone else to continually harrass me.

Ok Flamingo! Your right and I'm wrong, now lets move on!
I've had this sent to me by multiple people and one question I have and admit have not looked into was how were the samples collected? Whole fish ground up with skin and guts included or skinless fillets? Species? I'm betting entire fish similar to other sampling like mercury and PCBs. I wish they would give charts breaking down the sampling to show how the fish are typically used by people and the species sampled. Any water body tied to a wastewater treatment plant also have many medications used by everyone in the ecosystem on top of pollutants left from industry so lots to think about but for sure "We all get dead" Hondo 1953
Revelations and the Wuhan flu definitely we're meaningful points to add to any fishing discussion. The study had a couple goofy points as well, apparently this is a social justice issue as blacks consume more fish than whites and Latinos (From the study not my personal opinion)
Ouch, so much for discussing PFAs, you took the race cards out! I'm a little offended because I'm Chinese.
