I remember eschewing catfish because they came from horribly polluted rivers, didn't taste good and were probably dangerous to eat. Now I enjoy catfish several times a year. They are raised on catfish farms, are healthy to eat and, depending on the restaurant, taste great. Inexpensive too. When you fly from St. Louis to New Orleans on a clear day, you'll see catfish farms clear to the horrizon.

I'm afraid my diet will continue to be based on taste appeal. I don't eat much red meat but neither am I a vegitarian. I suppose I'll die someday.

I thought Redd Fox had a good line, “All the people who exercise and watch what they eat are going to feel really stupid when they're lying in the hospital dying of nothin'.”
