Ding dong, the well is dead! Finally, the BP Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico has been declared dead. But the clean-up of oil and other contaminants continues, along with mounting concerns regarding the safety of the Gulf's seafood.

Will consumers understand the ramifications of the new standards?

They couldn't pay me enough to order a Gulf Shrimp Cocktail, esp. since they lowered the standards for seafood safety.--These idiots really need to be fired!---Or forced to eat what they have approved.
