they don't eat sh*t. i've been to tilapia farms all over the world. I promise you they don't eat #^&#^&#^&#^&. They eat nasty algae and pond scum, which can make them taste like a dirty aquarium, but I can assure you they don't eat sh*t.
I have also been to many shrimp farms and never seen them eat sh*t, although i have heard rumors of it in China. I doubt you would see it in thailand, indo, india or cent america. if you buy shrimp at BJ's, Costco, Whole Foods, you know it will be good. If it is dirt cheap, there is usually a reason. i avoid china shrimp, and advise most people to stay away from grocery store shrimp in general, other than the retailers mentioned above. agree that good shrimp is hard to find, but the problem is usually oversoaking with chemicals... |

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.?

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. |

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.

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.

THE FDA has approved of this as well

dollar cancer industry in Business
