i'd say it was comparable to sole
and not as good as flounder

unlike meat inspection disregarding what's actually in the meat

seafood is only inspected at a rate around 2%
so absolutely anything is getting thru to consumers

the "OLD" guy on swamp land show used onions
to catch catfish.... now that's cool

but these same DUMB BASTARDS FDA
approved monsanto's lacing of roundup
be allowed in our corn.... genetically (GM UH-OH)

which is why i continue to say "END the FDA"

I believe there was a Dirty Jobs episode where Talapia were used to clean the crap of other farm raised fish but I am not sure if that is the case with Talapia raised for consumption. I have still not tried it for that reason though.

I actually couldn't believe the FDA approved Splenda after finding out it was discovered when trying to develop a pesticide, that can't be good for you. Look what they did with Sweet and Low, I don't know how they exist, I guess something is better than nothing. You would think that with people trying to become more health conscious things would get better but I guess not.

Besides trying to eat right is there anything else we can do to make the FDA better? Is it just the case where big business always wins?
Are there groups out there to join, etc.?

My grandfather once told me this- "if you can't pronounce it, you can't digest it". He ate like a bird and knew long ago that processed foods were bad news.
I think the key is to just eat smart. Eat less and eat organic.

I watched that episode, too. That tilapia was for human consumption after they cleaned the excrement from the farm raised bass tanks. Pretty disgusting, but I laughed my ass off because my mother in law was on a tilapia kick at the time. I never warned her and she still eats it more than any other fish, lol.

Tilapia with a side of piss anyone? Never tried it never will

What ever I am a walking explosion. The FDA isn't going to kill me but the good I ingest may. I think about it often as I get older because I constantly have new issues. IDK what the hell you gonna do

I liked it!

Can't be any worse for you than hot dogs..

Ain't that the truth. Or any of the other crap that people (me included) put in our bodies..

My stepdad gave me crap for eating an avacado every morning for breakfast.. Telling me that they were so bad for you, etc.
he eats so much processed crap, but wouldn't dream of eating the seed of satan known as an avacado.
Food is big business along with healthcare. Both industries have lobbyists who's job it is is the persuade the general population that they need to buy their junk.
If everyone in this country ate organic whole foods and stopped eating processed crap, the food industry and health industry would be ruined.

Something to consider.

Agree, why do we need food safety?

speaking of Rats

the GMO altered corn with impregnated into it's genetic code
a BUILT in dose of round up
grows viciously huge tumors in RATS

THE FDA has approved of this as well
they are (to many Nasty words to express here)

Makes you wonder why so many people get cancer

actually
a cure was found in France for cancer
but because it's quite controversial....
it was suppressed to keep the billion
dollar cancer industry in Business

That makes sense
