This question is more for Americans, but if you're not an American you can answer but you have to you're in the same sitaution. Ok, as we all know, due to BP there was an oil spill that effected Florida and the Golf Coast. Many people who live near the Gulf make their living through shrimping and fishing of various kinds. The fishermen caught shrimp that had oil and said they couldn't sell it, because it was contaminated. It was sent to labs for testing. The labs claim it's ok to eat despite being covered in oil. Since they do so much business this shrimp could be going to any state. Would you ate this shrimp?

i am in canada but of course, this situation has been all over our news as well. i love shrimp and will eat it pretty much every chance i get. although most of our shrimp comes from canada, i imagine we get some of yours and i guess i would probably eat it.
