This is a really good link to look over as far as environmentalism and health go. I have definitely cut out all salmon from my diet (except for sushi).
Also, another thing to look out for is nitrates in cured foods like hotdogs and bacon. While they are a little more expensive, Niman Ranch's Fearless Uncured beef hotdogs are great. Now... uncured bacon is crazy expensive... I think it's close to $8 per package--yikes! I was thinking turkey bacon might be a good alternative, but I think even those have nitrates. In this Treating Diabetes Naturally article, it turns out that nitrates and diabetes do not mix--good to know for the family!
In this new world of mercury in fish, nitrates, trans fatty acids, refined sugars, hormones, pesticides vs. organic, it just gets harder and harder... especially for women who may want to have children one day. :)
