One year since BP Oil Spill: What did we learn??

April 21, 2011
By

It has been one year since the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which many called the worst environmental disaster ever. That is, of course, before the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown in Japan. I think this one will top the list. But yet, athorities assure us that there no reason for concern in terms of the seafood. 

It took us one year to admit this in the news:

“It may take many years to determine whether some (particular) species was affected.” CNN. April 20, 2011 “Gulf oil disaster still puzzles scientists”

So why are we not using the same logic about seafood products in the highly radiactive waters surrounding Japan?

As of today, FDA has not added seafood to the list of radiactice products. They did not even ask people to use caution. They state the same reasons as with the Gulf Oil spill: distance, proximity, decay. FDA just updated their website with the following seafood safety information:

“FDA does not anticipate any public health effect on seafood safety.” FDA.gov, seafood safety.

    I would never have imagined that the FDA would still make so much excuses especially what had happened in the oil spill and now the disaster that occurred in japan. It would make you wonder if they had learned a thing even scientist are still puzzled especially the effects after the oil spill think about what will happened a year from now in japan.

    I don't think US lost the war on drug, we are keep fighting to prevent it. It is not a baseball match to win easily, it's a time consuming process but at least we can reduce by helping each other.
