Haha. The rich won't have any oysters to eat anymore. Oh well. That's their problem

They’re like swallowing snot anyway. I’ve never understood the allure. Also there are filtering all the shit out of the seafloor water, I’ve peed in there.

Much like corpses, there's a certain amount of excrement we're willing to accept to swim in salty water.

The article is about historical natural abundance of oysters in Europe which people seem to have entirely forgotten.

Today's oysters are all farmed anyways and most are consumed as a normal ingredient in east-asian dishes.
