We all heard about the scary warnings about mercury, but who do you know has died from mercury poisoning? I can think of people I have personally known that have died of cancer and heart attacks but cannot name one that has died from mercury poisoning. Sometimes I wonder if mercury poisoning was just a propaganda campaign to get people to abandon the healthiest foods and just get in their car and order fast food in the drive-thru.

For fish to deserve the title of healthiest food, it should be taken from clean water. Red meat could be eaten in moderation and still be healthy, if obtained from healthy animals. It is probably just as challenging to obtain red meat from healthy animals as it is to obtain healthy fish.
