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.
