Here is a scary sort of article about farmed salmon. Something to worry
about with them, I suppose.

What they were concerned about is a chemical called dioxin. However the
latest I heard on the
news last night was that the measured amounts were so small that it made
any kinds of statictics
too inaccurate to be something to be really concerned about. (I think the
latter statement came from
the FDA).

Sounds more like a ploy to keep people from buying Scandinavian farm grown
salmon and instead by
wild fish caught here.
