Fatty Fish (Salmon, Tuna, Black Cod, etc.)

The fact of the matter is we live on a polluted planet. Our seas are not as clean as they should be and our fish suffer. It is important to pay attention to mercury levels in fish and even more important to support organizations and campaigns that work towards a cleaner planet with cleaner oceans. We need our fish. I mean, we need to EAT our fish. Fish is the easiest to digest of the animal proteins and provides us with many important benefits that we need to survive in our less than pure world.
