Raw Oysters banned by FDA
According to this Yahoo article, the FDA earlier this month announced it will ban the sale of raw oysters from the Gulf of Mexico unless they've been treated with an expensive and taste-robbing process to kill certain bacteria. The ban will take effect in 2011.

I can't believe the FDA is singling out oysters and the oyster industry like this. I'm all for food safety, but this crosses the line IMHO.

No more 'dozen on the half shell?' Crazy.
