Reply to comment by RailRoad_Candy in Sometimes I wonder about the dudes that used to fish off the side where Encore is, back when it was a toxic superfund site. by _AttilaTheNun_

Dunno why you were downvoted this is correct. Some like 90% of our water bodies have been polluted / PFAs in them. Eating a single fish can be like eating up a months worth of forever chemicals.

When the aliens pass me up to eat you instead you'll be sorry.

So out of curiosity, do you eat any fish or avoid it entirely?

I wish I could - I live in the northeast and it sucks but I know better. Gotta remember the industrial revolution started here, so most of our waterways are fucked. That said, the fishing is still good - just can't eat it.

I live in the northeast too. Hard to imagine giving up sushi, swordfish, salmon, all of which I love. But maybe I should. Then again it is hard to determine what food sources aren't rife with PFAs.

Those are not the common catch; but it’s funny people don’t wanna believe New England waters are fucked. Yes folks we’ve done a lot to clean them up, but how can you quantify a century of dumping polluted in the river; believe what ever y’all want lol

I'm not implying the waters are clean at all

They’re getting better. Where I live near Uxbridge the blackstone, Mumford, and west rivers were some of the most polluted on earth and you’d never know now. They’ve recovered wonderfully.
