Killing the Gulf

And still don't eat Gulf seafood.

In two separate cases, a toxicologist and a chemist independently confirmed their seafood samples contained unusually high volumes of crude oil and harmful hydrocarbons -- and some of this food was allegedly being sent to market.

[...]

In another series of tests, Dr. William Sawyer, of the Sanibel, Florida-based Toxicology Consultants & Assessment Specialists, replicated findings of oil in shrimp digestive tracts, but he noted an even higher content of harmful hydrocarbons in the flesh of other edible creatures.

And, Dr. Sawyer said, some of his test samples came from seafood on its way to market, pulled from waters recently classified as safe for commercial fishing activities.

  Raw Story

As always, Dahr Jamail has the most up-to-date and in-depth coverage of the death of the Gulf...or should I say, murder? Read it at his blog.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
