FDA to ban raw Gulf oysters unless treated for bacteria; proposal would take effect in 2011

I see a new class of criminal/bootlegger for selling
non decontaminated oysters.

Well I know someone who is a well known jumper and he nearly died from an oyster that was bad.

He still can have problems from that.

You know what's ironic - a couple of thread up the British government is getting bashed about a "suppossed" ban and this thread it silent

Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

See, this is why Reagan said we need to get government off the backs of the people. So much regulation; not enough personal responsibility.

Well, this is an actual ban, so it's OK.

WTF?! I didn't hear about this?! A lot of my friends are in the oyster business. I freaking love raw oysters too!



I don't think it'll pass. Even if it does, it probably only applies to restaurants. It won't keep me from buying a sack and shucking em in my yard with a case of beer. Mmmmm maybe I'll get a sack for Halloween....

There has certainly been an increase in red tide in the colder waters up north. I would not be surprised if there is increased contamination in the gulf region over the last 20 years or so.

I think this one is stupid as well. The difference is you seem to support them all.

That would be a similarity not a difference.

Nope, actually I don't. But continue assuming whatever fits your partisan worldview.

Yes, well, they deserve the bashing, simply by virtue of being English.

Ridiculous.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

The resurgence of democrat fecal matter is what is polluting the oyster beds. Its just temporary; no need for new regulations.

Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Just for that, I'm eating extra raisin bran tomorrow.
