>"there is no evidence that the business did anything to contaminate the oysters, which likely were already contaminated when the establishment received them," the department said
So you're just shitposting, or what? It's a health food store in fucking Missouri. I honestly don't know if I can think of another state more flyover than Missouri that doesn't share a border with Missouri. You're probably the only person on the planet who looks at this picture and newsblob and thinks, "THE OYSTERS WEREN'T LOCAL! THIS WHOLE "LOCAL FOOD" MEME IS A SCAM!!!"

Something can be fresh, local, healthy and infected bro

>Something can be fresh, local, healthy and infected bro
fresh, local and infected - yes, can be all three.
healthy and infected with a potentiality deadly virus? no. can't be both

>>19376443
Are apples healthy? Yes. Covering an apple in cyanide doesnt make the apple itself not healthy. They sold him oysters. Oysters are healthy. The infection was not the product nor did he pay for it.

>>19376448
>nor did he pay for it
did he steal the oysters?

That's nice, but oysters are not local to fucking Missouri, are they?

>>19376152
Yeah, I saw an article on this in my feed and there was a thread here yesterday.

>>19376458
Didnt say they were.

>>19376453
>died from eating oysters
>that he paid for

>>19376461
But the store says they were.

>>19376466
The only proper way to parse that sentence is that dead dude paid for the oysters, not for the bacteria that infected him because "the infection was not the product." I'm ESL and I understood what >>19376448 meant easily.

>>19376466
>The infection was not the product
Subject: infection
>Nor did he pay for it.
Nor: referring to a previous negative statement, the infection (subject) NOT being the product (that he paid for)

>Oysters in St. Louis can be “local?
In Indiana people have been making turkey stuffing/dressing with oysters for nearly a hundred years, maybe longer. I ask people how on earth did people in Indiana even hear about oysters back then, let alone use them in stuffing. No one knows, but they would get them "fresh" at the local grocery store at that time. I think they had to special order them.

>>19376448
>They sold him oysters.
They sold him oysters infected with the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria.
Oysters = Healthy.
Oysters infected with the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria = Unhealthy.

Just admit you are wrong bro

>>19376448
>Are apples healthy?

That depends. Are these apples covered in cyanide? Then no, they aren't healthy.

Are healthy apples and cyanide covered apples both apples? Yes, of course they are both apples. But a healthy apple is good for you. A cyanide covered apple will kill you. Despite both being apples, they are not the same.

If a store that advertises as selling "healthy" apples sells you a poison apple, and you eat it and you die, have they sold you a "healthy" apple? No. Of course not. They sold you an unhealthy product that actually led to your death.

Yet, you maintain that they still sold you something "healthy" as apples are "healthy." We aren't in a courtroom. This isn't a legal question. Did the store that advertises itself as selling "healthy" products sell you a food item that was actually healthy? No. They sold you something that, by consuming it, led to your death.

>>19376152
this thread is retarded, but yes, you are allowed to have a convenience store that sells rotten seafood in america

That's what you get eating oysters
They are gross.

>>19377194
Just say you are wrong

dying from an oyster is a sad way to go

i went into a meat market in the hood in search for booze

holy moly doughnut shop in real life

I went to a fishmarket in the DEEP hood (as in I was the only non-groid for miles other than the Asians running the fishmarket and the carpet pilots running the tiny grocery store next door) and it smelled fucking horrifically and had a ridiculous number of flies in it.
I wandered in, originally with the intent to get some cheap-o fish but bolted out of there quick as a kitten queef.

>>19377246
Imagine how powerful the oyster feels though

>>19377243
Poisonous apples are the same as healthy apples. Well, in a way, yes, they are both apples.

Healthy oysters are the same as oysters infected with a deadly bacteria.
Well, in a way, yes, both are oysters.

My recommendation for your next "healthy" meal is, Cyanide covered apples with a side of Vibrio vulnificus infected oysters. Enjoy your "healthy" meal bro! Never mind the "recall alert." Oysters are healthy. The sign in front of the store says they only sell "healthy" food. Thus, all oysters and apples sold at the store are "healthy."

His death had nothing to do with the oysters being old though. You could've plucked those fresh from the ocean and died anyway. That species of Vibrio would've killed him on any coast.

You don't automatically get sick by eating most Vibrio species because usually your body can handle it, but if you're old or have weak immune systems or eat this particular species of Vibrio (it gets into your blood real easy) you're fucked.

>>19377388
Fun fact, that big piece of meat inside the oyster shell? That is the oyster's brain. The oyster knows exactly what you want to do with him. If you'd only take the time to listen

>>19377413
It's the entire organism anon.

>Vibrio vulnificus wound infections have a mortality rate around 25%. In people in whom the infection worsens into sepsis, typically following ingestion, the mortality rate rises to 50%. The majority of these people die within the first 48 hours of infection. The optimal treatment is not known
>V. vulnificus causes an infection often incurred after eating seafood, especially raw or undercooked oysters. It does not alter the appearance, taste, or odor of oysters.[8] Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Fuck eating oysters. Jesus.

>>19377459
My aunt survived such an infection when she, my mum and my other aunts and uncles (huge family) were kids so it put both my mum and aunt off oysters permanently. One of my uncles? No fucks given. He's old af and in his retirement spends most of his time on the beach eating shellfish and trying (and failing) to bed young bitches.
