This is definitely a problem. If you are in Texas or anywhere and buying shrimp, please ask where it is from. Thanks.

To support their failing business model? But government is the enemy!
I actually think it is a good idea to work on limiting the farmed shrimp trade. It is my understanding that the foreign shrimp farms are an ecological disaster.

(15,007 posts)4. One of the biggest Dems in my town has a shrimp fisher father. Help for him and others should
be good for any one in the business. This kind of thought keeps many nonpolitical people stuck in the concept that only big business people matter. It is also why so few people in Texas vote. They are convinced (probably rightly) that they do not count.
