Mmmm, bacon grease. Makes everything better.
Had bacon wrapped sirloin last night w/ sauteed spinach on the side. Yep, the spinach was sauteed in bacon fat.

Eliminate grains and starch, not the fat. Bacon is your friend.

doctor wants me to swallow fish oil half a dozen times a day. i'll be urping like that fermented vietnamese sauce. maybe i'll learn to like it, but i will no longer be suitable for mixed company.
there is no hope. link this thread to norwegian's "best way to die".

Unfortunately Tony, I am also in the same boat, my doc is on my ass. My 3 favorite things in the world: Bacon, Italian sub sandwiches, and good aged cheese (my family's from Wisconsin). I like veggies, but low fat cheese??!!! You ever tasted that stuff?, I think it is a petroleum product.

born in wisconsin here. will never forget those large blocks of pale cheddar that would last you all winter.
my good cholesterol is always in good supply. good kills bad, right--is that how it works?
the french government tells us you can eat all the fois gras you want, as long as you drink the right red wine. high-budget hope.

I'd love to read that book.
Sword Fish is a bill fin so I'm wondering if they are referring to all of the bill fins or particular species.
this chart verifies your concern. yikes!

I'm sure to get a ton of good info from my contact in Hawaii.

Regarding mercury in fish;
From Nature's last chart, the higher incidence of it occurs in freshwater species, mostly. Mercury is a naturally occurring element in nature, not Doug. Quicksilver is very invasive in the SF Bay lakes. Signs everywhere cautioning about levels in the lakes' fish.
Now why do sharks and billfish have high levels?
I can see how river runoff from infected lakes will bring it to oceans, but why those 2 big predators?

Trophic level concentrations.
Sharks eat nothing other than other fish - generally ones that are higher up on the trophic level chain.
that one makes sense to me.
hang on a sec... I hate to go so off topic... time for a new thread.
