(Crankers.com) Sen. John Kennedy appears to have a fun time warning people not to eat the radioactive shrimp, for the fear they might turn into the little red rocket known as a Xenomorph, from the ‘Alien’ movie that debuted in 1979.
Kennedy further stated on X: “If you eat some of the radioactive frozen shrimp that foreign countries are sending to America, you may end up looking like this picture from the movie, “Alien!.”
Before this, it was Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy warning people about the radioactive shrimp imports during a cabinet meeting. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Americans that some of the frozen shrimp at Walmart could contain cesium-137, a radioactive substance.
A recall was started in 20 states.
Health Secretary Kennedy said: “The South Asian nations are now dumping shrimp on our country, and the shrimp is heavily contaminated. We just stopped a shipment that was contaminated with cesium-137, which is radioactive… They’re farming these shrimps and they’re using bactericides and antibiotics and all kinds of chemicals, and they shrimp are so contaminated. The European nations won’t take them, so they’re dumping them all here. We have the most sustainable and most highly regulated fishing industry in the world. What our fisherman do is a good thing. And all of the trawlers in the gulf and in Alaska are being shut down.”
Kennedy said they’re going to increase FDA inspections for higher levels of safety.
