The
United States is bound by two oceans and a gulf, and has many thousands of
lakes, rivers and streams, yet we import 91% of our seafood. Why? Worse only
about 1 percent is inspected and only 0.1% is tested for banned drug residues
according to the US Government Accountability Office. Filthy fish products may
contain dirt, insect fragments, and rodent hair according to News21 (journalism
program at Arizona State University).
Even
though the United States is richly bound and blessed with waterways and fish
sources we are ranked 13th in the world and have a $10.4 billion trade
deficit...and it is growing. Again and again where is our leadership on this? We
should be consuming 91% of are OWN fish, not importing it. And, we should make
darn sure it is well inspected, clean, and healthy.
The
next time you sit down and have some seafood think about what you are eating!
There is a high probability that you will be eating un-inspected seafood from
China. Are you comfortable with that?
More will be written later about ALL of our food sources and why we import with such rich farmlands in America.
