Just a quick note for you all this morning. For starters if you are not familiar with Arthur Allen let’s make one thing clear right off the bat-he is no hack. He has a track record of being fair and getting both sides and siding with ground truth science in his journalistic deliberations.

He’s got a piece on food safety in today’s Washington Post that is actually a lot about food handling but he strays down the scary dirty water in aquaculture path but concludes by noting that “no major food poisonings have been associated with imported fish.”

That’s 10 words to say there’s no evidence of threat from foreign fish in a 2000 word article filled with a fair bit of gloom.
