Today I decided to try out my brand new Vitamix. I had been hesitant to take it out of its box because I am about to move house and it was so neatly packed. But in the end my curiosity got the better of me and I could not help but unpack my new, bright red 5200 model and eagerly set it up on my kitchen benchtop.
Before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill even happened, there were aguments for and against the eating of fish and seafood. On the one hand, we often hear about mercury toxicity in fish, but on the other hand we do know that fish provide Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) which are essential for human health. Right now however, there are real health and ethical reasons to completely stop eating fish and other seafood. At the very least to cut down considerably.
