For several years now, health "experts" have been warning expectant mothers not to eat fish. The concern, of course, was that mercury in the fish might interfere with the development of the fetus.
Well, that certainly seemed to make sense, right?
Wrong. Now a coalition of scientists is urging mothers-to-be to eat more fish. The new recommendations are based on evidence that nutrients in seafood aid in the development of the brain during gestation. Scientists arrived at the new conclusions after discovering that Barbara Bush never once ate fish while she was pregnant with George W.
Okay, so I made up that last part. Still, this is yet another example of how things that were once good for us are actually bad, while things that were bad are actually good. That's why I figure it's only a matter of time until scientists figure out that high cholesterol levels are an essential daily vitamin. In the meantime, I'm getting a head start on that announcement by starting my new Double Whopper and cheescake diet.
Followed by a healthy cigarette, of course.
