Maybe April Fool's Day was the wrong day to release that.

Just families? Not individuals?

Correct, for some individuals a single fish exceeds the recommended monthly max serving. But by splitting a fish with family members you can reduce your PCB consumption to acceptable levels (that's polychlorinated biphenyls, not circuit boards)

Sadly they had to close that loophole where so-called family "members" could claim individuality, bypassing the spirit of the legislation. Science has yet to determine where corporate personhood falls in this paradigm.

It's illegal if you're single.

That's what the article title says. "Families Can Now Eat". Obviously implying single people can't.
Should I get a MRI or the article author?

I moved to the mid-hudsoen river valley in the late 90s. It blew my mind that there was material going around saying it was *finally* safe to eat 1-2 fish a year that were caught in it.
Polution is a big deal.
