somebody else wants a payday from BP.
I recently visited the Gulf Coast for the specific purpose of eating the sea food. I ate local shrimp and oysters and fish every night and several days for lunch.
It is ok. It is delicious. Don’t believe the crap.
Alabama wild shrimp and Florida gulf shrimp are fabulous
Fixed.
Sounds like scare tactics to me. Why can't the actual results with the name of the website were they were purchased, the scientist that tested them, the detailed results of the test, and the FDA specific recommendations be disclosed in the article?
Can’t be any worse than the shimp packed and sent from China.
Lead, Feces, Mercury, other unidentifed heavy metals, and toxins.
Won’t eat anything labeled from China.
I live on the coast and ate a fried oyster po boy Saturday for the first time in months. It was GREAT!
Best thing to do is avoid shrimp in restos and if you buy it know where it came from. The crap from asia is almost as bad too.
This is simply asinine. If the shrimp had been exposed to crude oil, there would be "elevated levels" of MANY compounds, not just anthracene.
So scentist would not chow on shrimpos
Anyone asked him if he even like them
A little info,,,
I can't find the one I was lookin’ for,,,
IIRC : Some folks on the clean up have gotten sick from
working in the area,,,
Also many folks still have not been paid,,,
Some of these people using their own boats have not even
been paid for their fuel costs or the cleaning of their
boats...
“Scientists found elevated levels of Anthracene, a toxic hydrocarbon and a by-product of petroleum. The Anthracene levels were double what the FDA finds to be acceptable.”
Would`nt matter to a lot of people in here. They would happily feed it to their kids.
