Animal rights campaigners are urging Michael Gove to stop the construction of the UK’s first fully on-land salmon farm, claiming the decision to give it planning permission was flawed.

Animal Equality says an environmental impact assessment (EIA) should have been carried out before North East Lincolnshire council (NELC) gave the green light to the salmon farm in Cleethorpes, which it says would be the world’s biggest at land or sea.

Legumes suck heavy metal from the dirt too...

However, several studies have shown that dangerous metals like lead, cadmium and mercury can build up in these legumes, which is deleterious for human health. Second, finding dangerous metals in legumes and figuring out how dangerous they are can help change food safety policies and rules to protect public health.
