BETTER THINK TWICE BEFORE ORDERING THAT KILLER WHALE STEAK

Killer whales are the most toxic of arctic mammals:
Scientists found that the blubber of killer whales taken from a fjord in Arctic Norway was full of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides and even a flame retardant often used on carpets.

The finding gives the whales the dubious distinction of ousting polar bears as most polluted Arctic mammal.
The article doesn't give us any figures to put this in perspective so it's safe to assume this is a WWF scare campaign. There's no point in caring about these poor poisonous critters anyway; global warming is bound to kill them off before the toxins get them.

For something different in a dining experience, I suggest camel.
