If you are in favor of markedly increasing funding to the FDA so they may expand their department size, increase government control and supervision over the private sector, and inspect more imported seafood (increasing the cost of that seafood), tell your Congressmen and Senators.

The video is pretty shocking. It's been out there for several years now.

Yeah because government is too small as it is.

That video is 3 years old. Is the problem worse or better since then? I never eat raw sea food regardless of where it's from, and I pretty much limit the fish I buy from the supermarket to Pacific or northern waters fish. I would never buy farm raised fish. Ordering seafood in restaurants will have to be reconsidered.

I have no idea if the problem has gotten better or worse since that report. The first time I saw the video was yesterday when a friend sent me the link to it. I doubt much has changed because these government agencies are usually pretty slow to act.

We should warn these countries that we will ban their fish imports if they don't clean up their act.

I was going to have fish tonight but now I'm thinking about eating chicken... Are there any bad videos about that I should know about?

Just the ones about Chinese food restauraunts having the ability to make rat meat look just like chicken.

You mean it really isn't chicken?

I'd be in favor of diverting the teacher's pension fund in the name of the children they failed to educate. That should cover it. You can add on the wasted money attempting to overturn AZ as well and all that bottled water for congress etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
