West Coast Salmon...
There was a very interesting piece on the CBS news show 60 minutes on Sunday about the west coast salmon issue and what the government does and doesn't do. It seems like they shoot themselves in the foot and then proceed to shoot the other foot too! A lot of money is spent of "salmon recovery" and they even save a few salmon in the process! Check it out.

Fish and Pregnancy:Brain Food for Babies
Two authoritative scientific assessments, one from researchers at the
HARVARD SCHOOL of
PUBLIC HEALTH
and the other from the
INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE
of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that for most people the health benefits of eating fish and shellfish clearly exceed any risk of contamination from heavy metals or toxic chemicals.
A Point of Interest
The lead researcher from the Harvard study said he was surprised to find how little evidence of harm exists and concluded that the benefits greatly outweigh the risks, a fact that has been lost on the public
(due to negative reporting).
