| I moved to the mid-hudsoen river valley in the late 90s. It blew my mind that there was material going around saying it was *finally* safe to eat 1-2 fish a year that were caught in it. Polution is a big deal. |

| Maybe April Fool's Day was the wrong day to release that. |

| Just families? Not individuals? |
