   About a month ago I read in our local paper about mercury levels in many local lakes, I had no idea that this problem was Nation wide. Yes, very disconcerting!

   With such startling levels of contamination,why are they continuing to package these seafood products,& if they're going to,why aren't their more warnings out there for the public?
   I love tuna & my furbabies love tuna. I don't know what I'm going do at this point when it comes to stretching the almighty dollar when feeding my picky eaters that only like seafood flavors.
