Wow, that narrows it down. Is this because chickens are often fed fishmeal? Which would contaminate them and their eggs? I eat chicken and eggs all the time!!! But I eat free range eggs, not battery ones.

Also what about meat? HOw come that has to be grass fed? because of antibiotics?

And the garlic, onions, leek, etc, is this because they are high in sulphur and have a high affinity for mercury, which means they can absorb the mercury in the fertilisers from the soil?

It makes it really hard to know what on earth to eat. Because you can go the other way and start avoiding too much and end up becoming malnourished and weaker in the process. I guess one should "try" and make the best food choices whenever possible and out of that, get the foods that are as clean as possible from contamination.

I live in New Zealand, so I would hope that the meats I get are pretty much ok! I just haven't got the money to fork out for all organic produce. This is just too much.
