<<I heard on the news that we should limit our tuna intake to two sandwiches per week. Wow, the mercury levels are that high?
Why do big companies want to pollute our environment?>>

Mercury isn't something that's made by big companies, it's a naturally occurring element and was once used as a cure for syphilis.

A local family bought a fishing/resort camp in Northern Ontario, way north of any industries and even neighbors, in the early 70s before they checked for Mercury. After a couple of years the health department put a eat no fish on the lake they were on. A NATURAL Mercury deposit was under the lake they were on and under the lakes around them. They now have to fly in fish for the fish dinners.
