Fertilizing fish ponds with poultry feces to promote fish growth -- a common practice in Asia -- may set up reservoirs of bird flu, say British researchers.

Fish flu?

Great, now we can't eat poultry (bird flu), pork (offends Muslims), beef (mad cow), fish (fish flu) or spam (offends taste buds). We'll have to survive on celery now.

No, flush flue.

I've been avoiding seafood from Asian countries for some time now as, having spent a bit of time out there, I can attest to the fact that their standards are, shall we say, different than ours when it comes to sanitation.

Actually, it's not chicken crap that I'm altogether concerned about.

It's not so much seafood harvested from the open waters as it is that so much of it is farmed now and there is no way, I'm aware of, that one can tell the difference.

Then, too, I'm avoiding produce from Mexico and the rest of Central/South America.

Chilean wine bing the exception.
