What do you do when a doctor or other respected authority in your life recommends you change your diet? In 1970, some 4000 people met in Atlanta for the founding meeting of the Congress of African People (CAP) a national network that Amiri Baraka’s CFUN inspired.  Black theologian James Cone and Reverend Bill Land led a workshop at the congress that recommend fasting to cleanse one's body and mind, and abstaining from eating and bottom theaters such as shellfish, catfish, and carp similar to the diet of Jews and Muslims. When one experiences seafood poising, more often then not it comes from a scavenger fish or bottom eater who has inadvertently consumed toxic waste in the water and then passes that toxin into your system when you consume it. The toxin most likely would come from a man made source like run off from a agricultural business, chemical plant, or the environmental damage of a oil spill on a body of water.
