Seattle seafood shoppers are questioning why the FDA is not investigating glowing shrimp being sold at supermarkets.
One woman decided to give her cats a little treat and instead found the bioluminescent buggers glowing in the cats' dish hours later when darkness fell. Inside her fridge, she found more glowing shrimp, and while she did not fall ill, she felt queasy over the fact that she just ingested something that looked radioactive.
The FDA is saying that the bioluminescent shrimp are as safe as colored ketchup, but I don't know...if my ketchup looked like an acid trip, I'd probably want someone to investigate too.

That makes me sad because shrimp is my favorite.

What is wrong with people??? So, is the FDA saying that the shrimp are meant to glow? That they were bred that way? Or is it some kind of reaction to their environment??? Either way, I think common sense says 'If food that doesn't normally glow is suddenly glowing, don't eat it.' Come on...
Look in to it first... then maybe someone would have realized that when he/she said bioluminescent that that meant that specific shrimp glows naturally, as many other deep sea creatures do.
