No more Tilapia in this house!! I heard something about this on the news a few days ago. There are too many other good fish choices that aren't so unhealthy. If I am going to eat something as bad for me as bacon or a hamburger it will be bacon or hamburger.

“For individuals who are eating fish as a method to control inflammatory diseases such as heart disease, it is clear from these numbers that tilapia is not a good choice,” the article says. “All other nutritional content aside, the inflammatory potential of hamburger and pork bacon is lower than the average serving of farmed tilapia.”
