What they DO know, they are struggling to keep out of the public eye. At first, shortly after the spill, aside from being coated in oil, the fish, crabs, shrimp, and oysters all appeared fine. The FDA has recently deemed the food coming from this region of water “safe to consume”. So what do they know that they are not telling us? What the animals two generations later look like, the stomach turning evidence that the mix of chemical dispersants and oil in an environment is NOT safe, nor does it keep the seafood safe for consumption. Red Snapper, crabs and shrimp are being found with hideous deformities, and in alarming numbers. Nearly 50% of the oceanlife in this area is being found with gaping sores, oozing black goo. Sounds tasty, doesn’t it? They are finding shrimp and fish born not only with no eyes, but without even eye sockets. They are catching crabs born with no claws. A large percentage of the seafood caught is being found with cauliflower-like growths hanging from their eyes (or where their eyes should be) and from their gills. But perhap the most disturbing find of all is the sealife dying from the inside. Fish and crabs being caught alive, but when they are cut open, rather than bones and organs there is nothing but foul-smelling black goo oozing from within. Serve me up a plate of that, please! There are no tests currently to confirm that these “anomalies” are a direct result of the oil/correxit laden waters, however the percentage of fish with lesions before the spill was less than 1/5 of 1%, and after jumped to a gut wrenching 50% in some areas. According to the FDA however, there is no correlation between the two, and the food is 100% safe for consumption. You may feel comforted that the FDA has performed its rigorous testing and came out in the clear, but would you feel as comforted if you knew that the “rigorous testing” consisted of an employee holding your seafood to their nose for a mere sniff-test, and then send it right on down the line with a stamp of approval?
