A rambling senator explains how eating radioactive shrimp will turn you into the xenomorph from Alien and other ludicrous claims about “foreign” shrimp.

Seriously, stop doing business with Americans. They’re idiots.

    How does that guy keep a straight face? Radiation will not make you grow a third ear, he is just fear mongering. The shrimp were found out before they hit the shelves and I am sure they did more testing on the shrimp that came in on that order. The cesium wasn’t even at dangerous levels, plus it is in everything (low levels) in everything since the first nuke went boom!

    I hate how he talked about hormones being used to grow these shrimp, they have their own hormones that they make as part of life. Even if they where to use artificial hormones and you are concerned go play with yourself (or a friend) and your body will flood its self with your own hormones!

    One night after I was done studying for the day for finals in university I saw an A&W ad saying they raise their beef without hormones, I know they ment artificial hormones but the ads where saying hormones. I was really tired and I had been studying something; my university studies where focused mainly on sex, gender, and development so I know a thing or two on the topic so I wrote a very angry email to A&W about how they must castrate their cattle to raise them without the use of hormones. I would only latter realize after I was more awake and not half a sleep that they would have to grow their beef in a vat if they where not to use hormones.

        Yeah I guess you are right. Even cloned cells need them to develop and split and do all that fun stuff that cells do.
