In the gospel, there are many admonitions to cut out unclean things from your life entirely. "No unclean thing can dwell in the kingdom of heaven (Unclean, Uncleanness)."

It occurs to me that the subtle introduction (Avoid big fish to prevent mercury harm) of small things into your life that are "unclean" over time is a fairly insidious way to get someone to go from "clean" to "unclean" across time without noticing.

This is why it's important to be vigilant in avoiding the larger things (like eating tuna), and doing periodic detoxes (repentance) to get that poisoning out that's accumulated over time.
