LOL! There’s a dirt-cheap, but excellent Japanese restaurant nearby I often grab lunch at that serves squid. As a result, Calamari is the seafood I eat the most of. And I was just wondering whether I’d see any mention of Calamari here. I didn’t expect Calamari to be replying, tough!

To anyone else: I was also wondering about catfish, my favorite kind of fish. There’s passing mention of farm-raised catfish. I’d love to know whether only farm-raised is bad for you. And why was catfish only mentioned in passing? Was it simply because the study was only conducted on Tilapia, but the same issues LIKELY affect catfish eaters?

If fish are anything like cows, the composition of their fat has to do with what they eat. Fed on grains, the fat will have low levels of Omega-3. It appears that way from the article since trout and salmon (both carnivorous fish) have better fat profiles. Herbivores seem to need no or low grain diets to achieve the same fat profile. So my guess is Yeah, wild caught should be better than farm raised.

It is. Everyone who eats farm raised catfish dies.

Squid used to be "dirt cheap" also but the last 3 pound box I bought cost me more than $6.00.

Its food. As long as you are not allergic to it and it is not poisoned a few catfish fillets aren't going to hurt you.

Most of what is on the "other things to worry about "list are from posted articles on FR put forth by the media as the next thing that was going to make people ill, injure you, or end life on earth to induce a constant state of worry, fretting, fear, uncertainty,and doubt.

In fact one of the items on the list is the article Everything spinning out of control. Seems like the reporters are reading too much of of their own doom and gloom.

Remember that the vast majority of the 300,000,000 people in the good old USA did not have any problem with anything on the list.

The constant drip, drip, drip of "Crisis News" can effect a persons frame of mind. Effect enough people and the consequences can be enormous.

Keep in mind that the sun will most likely come up tomorrow and most of us will be here to see it.

I keep a loaded gun in three rooms of the house to deal with unexpected issues. The dogs will let me know if one of these issues arrives.

I keep a weather radio set to alarm on severe weather alert broadcasts. I monitor the local fire department frequency in case there is a brush fire nearby (it has been pretty dry around here). That is all the crisis news I need.

I try to limit my talk radio listening to 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. and I don't regularly watch the "news". I do not subscribe to the local bird cage liner.

Got to get going since I have 4 loaves of bread rising in the kitchen that need to go into the ovens.

Regards,
