I became allergic to shrimp at 17 and for years I was upset by that because I loved shrimp. But after hearing this story, my soul is finally at peace.

They forgot to mention that crabs, lobsters, crayfish, mussels, clams, and oysters are also feeding on dirt.

That's what the ecologist said.

shrimps are bottom feeder
in the while they eat dead decaying fish.
shrimps are filters eaters as well, eating micro organism, including bacteria

Prawn is disgusting but what about pigs? They eat and live in their own poops just like the prawns so what's the difference? The ugly truth about pigs =.=

Seriously, folks. If you REALLY thought about what your food goes through, you would just stop eating all together.

Shrimp farming takes a lot of effort. Which type of shrimp will survive in sewage pond? This report is a lie.

Anyway, like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

The solution is NaturalShrimp, based out of Dallas, TX. They have and are bringing out a patented solution whereby shrimp are grown in recirculating systems with no pesticides, hormones, chemicals or pathogens of any kind. These systems are not in our oceans which are becoming more polluted by the day. The tanks can be located anywhere around the world which means distribution is much more simple and the product is truly organic and fresh...never frozen. Best part of all, investors can participate in the growth of the company as NaturalShrimp is a publicly traded company.

This reminds me of the time when I was in high school. One of my teachers found out what that black line on shrimp true purpose. When he saw some people was sleeping in class during that discussion (it was a 7 a.m. class), he shook their shoulders and said, "Wake up, I'm trying to save you from eating poop." That was so funny.

The content of this show is so shallow. The anchors aren't too much better either; especially as they have that trivial "black vs white" approach to everything. They try to sensationalize everything, or fake being surprised and/or outraged at rather trivial issues....
