The cherry on top of a long weekend is a short week. Last weekend really jump-started our motivation to explore every inch of Hawaii and I cannot wait for this one. Valentine's Day was super low key....

The mercury-warning-signs-on-seafood crowd has pulled a David Hasselhoff. They've been shopping their alarmist rhetoric in the U.S. for years now. Despite the fact that doctors, dietitians, independe...

Monday's edition of the Bradenton Herald in Bradenton, Florida offers us evidence educated health professionals are getting the message that inflated concerns about mercury in seafood have been over-s...
