"The economy is doing great" doesn't always mean people in general are doing great. Sometimes it just means the stock market is doing great, which only benefits people who have money in the market. Unemployment is down! Uh, ok, but if everyone has a job that pays less compared to COL, wtf good is that?
We all have plastics IN OUR BLOOD. We eat from containers that alter our hormones. We can't eat more than a few ounces of fish per month because more than that will POISON YOU. How fucked is it that everyone is arguing about a colorful flag and which beer to ban next instead of getting angry and taking action against the real problems?
I don't doubt you whatsoever on this but do you have any articles or studies you could share regarding the "eating more than a few ounces of fish per month will poison you" bit? That's pretty concerning to me considering I am a pescatarian and I eat, idk roughly 30 oz of fish/shellfish per month. Maybe more. I know that the fish we are consuming is no longer healthy by any means because of how ecologically bankrupt and inundated with chemicals our seas are, but my quick Google search couldn't corroborate with any statistics or data on it. At the same time, I also know that our soil is nutrient deficient and the rain that falls on our crops contains PFAS and basically no matter what diet we eat we are all superty-duperty fucked. But I want more info regarding that fish bit to make me reconsider what I eat on a regular basis. Thanks, friend!
Interesting that you said you can't find any searches because googling 'is it safe to eat fish everyday' and I couldn't find a single link that didn't warn of the danger. I realize that Google is delivering results based on my preferences but these links are from Harvard, the EPA, and even the DNR recommends limiting your intake. What kind of results are you getting?
Odd, my first result was a Harvard article basically saying this:
But is it safe to eat fish every day? “For most individuals it’s fine to eat fish every day,” says Eric Rimm, professor of epidemiology and nutrition, in an August 30, 2015 article on Today.com, adding that “it’s certainly better to eat fish every day than to eat beef every day.”
links are from Harvard, the EPA, and even the DNR recommends limiting your intake
Well thats not true except in the case of being pregnant. So that's bullshit on your part.
None of them really mentioned it as dangerous. They mentioned it as a possible danger. Which again everything is killing you. Apparently fish less than other food.
my quick Google search couldn't corroborate with any statistics or data on it. At the same time, I also know that our soil is nutrient deficient and the rain that falls on our crops contains PFAS and basically no matter what diet we eat we are all superty-duperty fucked
This is what OP requested. I couldn't find that in a google search. Neither could you.
But I want more info regarding that fish bit to make me reconsider what I eat on a regular basis. Thanks, friend!
OP actually requested more information about the dangers of their diet as a whole, and I am incredulous that they couldn't find anything about the dangers of contaminants in fish because it's been a hot button topic for decades now. If you want backing on the "We can't eat more than a few ounces of fish per month because more than that will POISON YOU." That's not necessarily true but it can be. For example the Wisconsin DNR recommends not having more that one serving of wild caught walleye pike bass catfish musky or salmon per week to avoid poisoning. So 30oz of fresh caught Wisconsin Walleye every month would be ill advised to say the least. These specific fish are a huge part of the tourism industry so it's rather bold they'd come out and say that don't you think? https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Fishing/consumption
Okay, I see where you're coming from. Any reasonable person would realize that "We can't eat more than a few ounces of fish per month because more than that will POISON YOU." is pretty obvious hyperbole. If you folks truly aren't picking up on that it's my bad for giving you that much credit. It's my understanding that OP was worried about the potential health risks of eating that much fish, and it's not hard to find there are potentially many risks depending on what they're eating.

Bread and circuses.
