Crossing the Road
I have heard similar. I eat wild caught salmon once a week, and wild caught sardines 1-2 times a week. The good quality sardines are $3.50 per package, but I don’t mind spending extra money for my own safety. I would rather skimp on items not entering my body. I won’t eat any meat if it isn’t local, pastured, &/or organic/grass fed. My chicken feed costs double the non-organic feed, but since I consume the eggs I spend the money to ensure I am not putting glysophate remnants into my body. I have autoimmune issues so I am super careful with all foods.This is interesting. But sardines are widely cited as one of the best and most sustainable of fish species, for a variety of reasons.
