Recently a friend of mine who is friends with a high level FDA official who told him not to eat any tilapia that comes into the country. Again...I have to ask...why is the FDA allowing it in? Also, there has been NO PUBLIC WARNING at all about Tilapia being dangerous to eat. Again, why do us taxpayers need to be paying the FDA's high salaries and office accommodations if they aren't doing their jobs!
