Location: Brighton CO. | There has been a fish advisory for eating fish since I was a kid (Mercury) and now more and more stuff gets into the food chain there's even pieces of plastic in everything. With more and more people it gets harder to have a clean environment. Sad but true. |

| That is the chain I live on. Fish advisories are not new but this is the first time I have seen an advisory about not eating deer. The other question I had is if eating deer from a five mile radius is bad, what about the hundreds of acres of potatoes grown in that same area. They are irrigated with a lot of well water. Also a cranberry marsh within the impacted area. |

Location: Brighton CO. | I know of a Cranberry marsh that has said to be a problem to some surrounding waterways (some residual pesticide at times)and a lot of the potatoes grown up north are for Lays Potato Chips. My grandparents used to go to a potato field in the fall and get free potatoes the workers would pile up. (if they were too big they could not use them) Not being able to eat a Deer very sad. Part of the up north life style is getting that Deer each fall.

| Frito Lay is a large land owner in our area. Corn and potatoes for chips. The Snowden potato is the gold standard for potato chips and it was developed in the Rhinelander area. |
