Research Results
When someone tells us its okay, then well go
back to eating again. That theyve changed the
way they do business. If someone said it was
tested and okay, I would buy it. You would have
to target the taste buds. That would do it for
me (Health Canada). Im expecting that they have
the resources to investigate. Id want to hear
it from more than one person. It needs to be
someone who isnt going to make any money on the
sale of salmon. There is no trust with the
Government on that level. (After hearing SODA
information) Seems like salmon got the bad rap
here.
