8/25 - Fire Safety Tip: Eat Salmon

A recent study of farmed salmon in the American Journal of Environmental Science and Technology reports high levels of PBDEs which are "chemical fire retardants." Uh-kay ... let's add this one to this year's nominations for the Rotten Jellyfish Awards. The Canadian government says, "Anh, a little PDBE won't hurt ya."

Great! Now I can mix farmed salmon in with recycled newspaper to make insulation. I hate that formaldehyde spell.

So are smoked salmon the ones that didn't burn thanks to the PBDEs?

Very nice -- smoked salmon. I think that line just made it into the Rotten Jellyfish Awards for this year. Stay tuned.

Better living through chemistry, eh?
