I'm sorry that the watermen in the gulf have been hit hard. BP should buy what they can't sell. Send it to Britain (no offense meant for the people who live there).

@WinterHaven Did you know that supermarkets are supposed to display where the specific seafood comes from? I don't buy it unless I know where and how and where it was caught (in the wild vs farm raised). And, not all seafood is contaminated with mercury poison. And I agree, I'm not eating any seafood from the gulf. No matter what they say, I know for a fact that toxins are stored in the fatty tissue of certain species. Let BP buy the seafood and send it to Britain.

@WinterHaven considering there are 500 quadrillion gallons in the gulf and considering that BP captured 80 million gallons and considering that the rest has either evaporated or been consumed by microorganisms, I'd say its less than microscopic

Crab populations have dropped in the last few years.. maybe this thing is good for the crab population.

This guy obviously has a financial interest in the seafood being considered "safe" n I feel sorry for his family but I'm not poisoning mine just so he isn't broke. Even with FDA approval I wouldn't eat this because they approve of other poisons like aspartame and msg. I don't usually eat seafood but Im sure the cost of the food I do eat will be going up because of the lack of seafood. Hard to imagine how much this blown out oil and dispersants well will cost in lives n money

@MrNodzilla USA is 100% responsible for this disaster. BP passed all of the USA's mandated inspections and they LET them drill there-by common sense the USA tax payers need to flip the bill and not BP. BP was just doing what the US government let them do. Why the tax payers? They elected the officials who permitted the drilling.
