So that's where it came from!

Now I wouldn't say I'm naive. But apparently, I've had my head up my ass for some time.

I was reading Parent's magazine from last month, and in it was an article about the amount of mercury in the fish we eat. I always knew there was mercury in fish, however I did not even think about how it got there.

I always thought it was just one of those things that appeared naturally in fish. I did know that the bigger the fish, the more mercury since it builds up from all the other fish they eat.

I WAS WRONG.

So apparently, when the pollution floating around the air settles in the ocean, it is absorbed and ingested by the fish in the sea.

Now it is evident that the toxins in the air, do to our factories and cars and the like, not only poison our lungs, but also the fish we eat.

Awesome.
