One man’s “invasive species” is another man’s gourmet treat.

reminds me of the mccormick vodka scam. mccormick, in russia, would pour blue dye into barrels of vodka and label it "idustrial solvent."

once shipped to the American side, a substance would be added to make the liquid clear again.

then the liquid would be bottled and sold to distributors as vodka.

all the while, the russian importers would avoid import taxes.

i wonder if the russians, the chinese, or the American importers reap the greatest profit here.

Because of cheap labor and minimal environmental regulations, China now dominates the world market in vitamin supplements and other chemical food additives commonly used in American processed foods, such as stabilizers and emulsifiers.

People don't realize, or aren't smart enough to recognize, that a significant portion of their finished foods and medicines could be cut off in two weeks, not to mention virtually 100% of the luxury stuff.

They get more clams for King Crab than for Snow Crab. Maybe we should find a way to protect the more valuable King Crab stock from the Snow Crab invaders.

"So if you’re interested in what the raw material is, there is really no way to tell,"

There is no way for a consumer to easily tell but I can guarantee there better be a lot numbered record of every 'ingredient' in every batch of foodstuff overseen by the USDA. They will know in the event of any recall...

[robomatik]

"industrial" solvent. ahem.

[Cacique]

btt

[Paleo Conservative]

Imagine a the Russian version of Deadliest Catch.

[djf]

And this is a bad thing???

[biggerten]

Perhaps the UN could threaten to investigate the possibility of initiating research into a proposal to consider a non-binding resolution regarding sanctions against the invading species.

That’ll fix ‘em. Them d**n crabs won’t dare any further action.

[Beowulf9]

Maybe we should clarify this situation.
