I would not eat farm raised Tilapia on a regular basis!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

First of all, omega 6 is not bad for you!. Our bodies need it just like they need omega 3!. However, omega 6 is found in red meat as well, so Americans are in danger of eating too much omega 6!.

I don't understand why there would be a scare on tilapia as most of it is quick frozen on the boat when its caught!. There are better fish to eat for you such as salmon, tuna, halibut, and swordfish!. And they taste a lot better as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Possibly completely bogus: http://www!.aboutseafood!.com/press/media-!.!.!.

But even if these claims about it are bogus, most of the tilapia for sale here in the US is imported from China!. It is farm raised, so in theory, that should be a good thing, but since China cuts corners in so many industries, I'm not sure if their farm raised tilapia is to be trusted for reasons unrelated to the fat theories!.

I like it, I eat it (not every day) and I wonder about it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

WHAT!? What's the scare on Tilapia!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
