Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You know, I live less than 5 miles from the ocean, and probably 1/2 mile from two different estuarine rivers (okay both of them with a history of desperate pollution), and fish is wicked expensive here too. I can find rabbit in my grocery store cheaper (per pound) than almost all kinds of fish and shellfish. What is up with that??
Not that I dislike rabbit, but. Fish shouldn't be $6/lb. unless it is covered with gold.
I've been craving lox for ages, but I distinctly remember two different MD-vetted websites strongly cautioning against it.
Is that because of stuff in the fish or possible listeria risk?
Actors, sara.
There are also high levels of some plastic (PCBEs maybe? dunno). It's not a mercury issue.
I'm almost positive PCBs have been an issue, though they aren't a plastic--there I think you're thinking of flame-retardant PDBEs.
Happy Birthday Ailleann !!!!!!!
Plei, they tried to give me a prescription for a new prenatal vitamin with Olivia that wasn't covered on my insurance (and outrageously expensive) and when I asked what the difference was they said, Omega 3's had been added. Apparently, it boosts brain development in babies, but not so much that our insurance company wanted to pay for it. So I went back to my old prenates and just added an OTC supplement.

Well, rabbits breed like rabbits and fish...don't.
Ugh. This makes me want to rip my hair out. There's already talk of Jeb Bush running for president. I really hate that family.

You're right. My bad. I mixed the two up. I get all confuzzled and tend to lump the whole lot into acronyms-my-husband-won't-let-into-the-house.

I mean, come on, what would be the value in that? Brain development, feh. If this country cared about brain development...well, see Burrell's post above.

I'm pretty sure they weren't in my generic prescription ones.
