Now I know why… Per The Associated Press on MSNBC. COM: “fish caught near wastewater treatment plants serving five major U.S. cities had residues of pharmaceuticals in them, including medicines used to treat high cholesterol, allergies, high blood pressure, bipolar disorder and depression.” HMMMMM!?!?! Could it be that Uncle Sam and the pharmacy companies really are scratching each other’s backs? Keeping your cholesterol down and lowering your blood pressure are two other topics in the news on a daily basis. Ok then, if we are supposed to eat the fish and it already has the high cholesterol and high blood pressure meds in it, why are so many people taking their heart healthy daily doses in pill form?

Put the allergy meds into the food and it’s a win-win for everyone! My favorite findings relate to the bipolar and anti-depressants found, I suppose that’s one way to keep down the hysteria regarding the economy! If we’re all hopping around with smiles on our faces then who cares how little the stimulus package really helps us. “The Associated Press has also reported trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals have been detected in drinking water provided to at least 46 million Americans.” Gives a whole new meaning to “drink eight, eight ounce glasses of water everyday? Doesn’t it? I’m just saying……

EAT THE FISH ~ IT’S GOOD FOR YOU!
