there's plenty of other reasons to not eat shrimp. from the CO2 emissions created from wild caught shrimp to the concerns about mangroves being cut down to make room. (this is not as true as it used to be,) to the use of slave labor.
Not trying to get preachy or anything- I certainly can't claim to be the most environmentally-conscious eater. (I try. but damn steak is good. too. Now I'm craving surf n' turf.)
I don't eat them because I always equated them to water bugs.
Imagine the first guy who saw a lobster or crab and was like "I don't give a fuck anymore, I'm too hungry, I'm gonna cook and eat the sea spider!"
Delicious water bugs.
Technically, they are arthropods… so close enough
Bugs can be a great source of protein with a much lower environmental impact then vertebrate meat. We should be eating bugs more.
