fishy

Mercury escapes into the environment and much of it will change into methyl mercury and eventually be eaten by fish. Mercury-contaminated fish are the most likely source of mercury poisoning. It is very important to become aware of the fish that we eat. Being a triathlete i try to introduce lots of healthy meals including fish which is a great protein source. Here is a great link with excellent tools such as cards and cell phone indexes to help you become a better shopper and to adapt to a healthier lifestyle for you and your children. If you visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium website and go to Seafood watch. http://www.mbayaq.org/.

I got this kewl chart below so i can eat better, and i am going to start paying attention as my mom has been giving me the gears the past little while about all the sushi that i have been eating. Saturday Morning after my run session i am going to head to the Fort Worth's Farmers market to do some cheap organic produces shopping. My Mother really striked and interest with me about all of her great groceries she gets from the Market and she can even name the People each item they came from giving her a great sense of fulfilment that her produce is local. Anyways check the website out and check out the charts on the different areas. Here is the chart for the South East or the Dirty South i sometimes say. Anyways go to the website and learn how to protect yourself and the environment
