Is there a catch to that
catch?
Some species of fish contain contaminants
such as
mercury, PCBs, and dioxins, which are harmful
to
developing nervous systems. Children,
pregnant
women, and women of childbearing age are
especially at risk.

Eat only things you can
easily
pronounce.
Food produced with hormones or pesticides,
or food
processed with preservatives and colorings,
are
simply not as good for your health and can
make their
way into the environment, where they can
harm
animals and ecosystems.

3. Go local!
Be a conscious seafood consumer and buy
local,
environmentally responsible seafood as much
as
possible. More info.
