“BTW, cut-and-paste is usually used for a new post, since we here try to use our own words to discuss things. If your mind is so bereft of ideas and unable to order a cohesive and coherent ...” Hey Don. I’m not smart enough not have the expertise. That’s why I posted a link you frikin genius. http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a713853239
For sensitive consumers and those with high-level consumption (e.g., whaling communities), exposure to mercury and to a lesser extent PCBs from certain whale blubber and bacon and striped dolphin liver products could lead to chronic health effects. The Japanese community should therefore exercise a precautionary approach to the consumption of such foods in excess, particularly by high-risk members of the population.
In other words, there is NO risk of whatever you were trying to frighten the rest of us with, if the food in question is consumed in reasonable quantities.
So your point is?
Oh, nevermind, I understand now: YOU don't like that fact that certain cultures consider whale meat FOOD!
Tough bananas, buddy. I eat things that you don't like, and you eat things that I don't like, and the Japanese eat things that you and others don't like. So bloody what? As I said to another poster here: Get Over Yourself! You are NOT the be-all and end- all of what is right and wrong.
Live and let live. Abortion is NOT "let live". Work on a REAL problem, not what the Sea Shepherd Society TELLS you to worry about.
