"Something Fishy Is Going On"

What you'll see in this video explains why I don't buy fish and seafood unless it is labeled "Product of USA" and is fresh. There is one store where I live that has a special seafood/meat counter and the "butcher" will answer my questions as to where the products come from and whether they are farm raised or wild, fresh or frozen. Unfortunately we cannot trust unlabeled fish or seafood. And obviously inspection is lax at best. The FDA isn't doing it's job of protecting consumers -- no surprise there of course. Trade policies that over a long period of time encourage importing foreign products and regulations that discourage domestic production also contribute to the increase in unsafe foods and produce in our groceries. Thank you GATT, NAFTA and over zealous environmental policies. ~~ S. Lane
