Shark-fin Soup No More

One interesting article I just read at Menhealth magazine. It is about Shark-fin!! one of my favorable topic to share with others :P be ready guys.

Article is called "Bad Bite" Now I briefly will note why say no to shark-fin soup that we Chinese adore much. In the nature of shark, they eats smaller fish with contain mercury. according to research, men who ate two portions of this a day were 70% more likely to get heart disease. The reason? sharks eats smaller fish that contains mercury but they are unable to break it down, so it builds up to dangerous level in their bodies. So we will get mercury level too when we eat shark, say no no no to shark yar?

Solution? have some salmon instead, these fishes eat mainly plankton and gave very low mercury levels. but yar.. i know... It is expensive!! just look at the sushi dishes haha.

Even it is not bad to health i really suggest don take shark-fin soup, you know how horrible it is? we human eat its, but doesn't care how fisherman kills them in order to satisfy our self selfish needs. Have a look at Google or youtube, you know what i mean.

Beside... have you notice? usually rich people have heart attack haha at movie, more than the less fortunate people. perhaps they ate too much. The moral of the story? luxury food aren't not the best choice :P
