Yes, I do want to know what a shrimp eats. If it eats toxic stuff it isn’t safe to eat despite what the gummint sez. And, the whole damned gulf is toxic with the oil/dispersant cocktail.

You don’t want to know!

Pass The Gas     empirePie   August 17th, 2010

please pass the gas
black water is in the taps

power up the towers of delight
“going up?”; ....
plastic cubicles await
those little places to make some gain,
to mark the marked up status to attain

please pass the gas
black water is in the taps

power up the megalopolis
concrete, marble, glass, and steel
perchance a neutron blast would keep it real
empty corridors, .... assets still in tact
automated legers all in black.

please pass the gas
black water is in the taps

This article and some of the comments are textbook examples of ridiculous, rampant hysteria of anti-oilers. I will eat uncontaminated oil-free shrimp caught off Galveston and sold in Galveston every day.

hello. in a bizarre consequence of the gulf oil catastrophe, it is my opinion the seafood will
recover with less damage reported, than the
agricultural sector. besides covertness, and the
effect of natural annual changes in the gulf,(which
may return the gulf within one year)- this year my
garden has gone from looking pretty damn good in May,
to burnt, and discolored, and dying leaves and plants
in August. normally it would be nearing harvest, and
there is practically no crop. the vines along the
fence are the same, and i do not want to be outside
breathing this air. fortunately, juice is not an aged
beverage, and we will know if it is tainted this
year(if they tell us). still, it will be next year
before we know anything about gulf fish populations.

How did just under 600 million gallons of crude become
just “190 million”?

After finding out about how NOAA tests for seafood, color me unimpressed. More on the “super schnozes” we’re depending on here:

Waiter, this shrimp is greasy.

If I was a shrimp fisherman, I would be thinking the unthinkable: a new line of
work. As for myself, I say that shrimp (from anywhere) is pretty much off the
menu. Scam artists scamming scam-king BP, a corporation that seems to
automatically go for the scam first and truth last.

Now comes a story that scam artists are posing as fishermen to rip off BP. Now THERE’S a shock! Too, bad for them BP wasn’t nationalized. If so, the ripoff would have been a snap. I’m hoping BP will exercise due diligence and weed them out.

Darth:

That’s right. Those shrimp will be tainted for decades. Fuck the fishermen! Buy Taiwanese shrimp!

For the life of me, I can’t understand how “the government” could come with a
clean bill of health for Gulf shrimp.
