Who could have anticipated

That for some reason the shrimp harvest in the Gulf of Mexico is way down?

Oh, I think all those dead and dying turtles and dolphins were trying to tell somebody something....

The ones they're selling are so tasty -- and all pass the smell test. Not a whiff of petrochemicals in a carload. Because that's exactly how they're testing them -- by random sampling smell test. Mmmm, science at its finest.

Eat up, folks -- they're good for ya.

I knew Dr. Buckman through Toronto's Centre for Inquiry, of which he was a stalwart member.

He'll be missed...

I would think that the lighter-fluid and charcoal briquet industries would come out against petrochemical-infused sea food. As a backyard griller, I have to say that it seems like an unfair advantage. But then faster and easier. I'm torn.

I'm done with Gulf seafood. We won't know the detrimental effects upon the food chain for years -- decades. There's no logical reason to take the chance. Pity.
