Big Brother Gives All-Clear With Gulf Seafood Says No Test Necessary For BP's Use Of Banned Chemical Dispersants
In addition to the story in the title link, the EPA has given the all-clear to the safety of BP's dispersants, which are banned in its home country of Britain. I'm sure it's banned just because it was too nourishing. You know. Like Arsenic. Oh, but I kid. Let's see. What did Propublica report about BP's dispersant in the link above? As we've reported, Corexit was also used after the Exxon Valdez disaster and was later linked with human health problems including respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders. One of the two Corexit products also contains a compound that, in high doses, is associated with headaches, vomiting and reproductive problems.
Of course the biggest man made disaster in American history had no negative consequences. Hell, I sprinkle gasoline on my Kashi cereal every morning. It gives me that jolt I need to make it through the day.
Excuse me if this all-clear sounds like the political "all-clear" of our last man made disaster in the United States, Three Mile Island. Our good President Jimmy Carter appointed a POLITICAL commission which effectively misled or outright lied to the American people about the extent of the disaster. (Government commissions are often coverups for major mistakes. That's why we don't have any real investigation into Wall Street's endless frauds. Now we have a new catch phrase in lieu of President's Commission. It is the infamous Blue Ribbon Commission. Orwell would have really loved that one. You might consider reading this link if you already haven't. This from a qualified person who basically predicted Three Mile Island's disaster.)
Honestly, I have no idea how safe the Gulf seafood is. I don't run the tests and don't have the parameters to set the appropriate tests. But apparently neither does the FDA if they aren't even testing for Corexit. Or the EPA if they give the thumbs up to the dispersant Corexit. That said, it might be a show of great leadership if Gulf seafood was on the table of Congress every day since they are telling us the largest man made disaster in American history is of no environmental or food safety consequence.
