Shrimp flesh has right to life – Frankenprawn

Imagine eating basically a dead piece of flesh grown from a genetically managed tissue source in a nutrient soup – just add electricity and possibly a multitude of growth promoters, hormones – who knows what the reactive grown cells may contain….

Looks like this is what Shiok Meats are offering.

Prawnmaster prefers naturally grown shrimp. A better ethical choice. Safer as well. Less processed.

Biologically cleaner than an artificially grown tissue framework.

….and the right of cell lines to fulfill their natural biological cycles.

Fermented mini shrimp. ‘Overcoming the yuck factor’

The Economist | Overcoming the yuck factor

Korean, Philippine or Malaysian?

Milk, beef representatives urge seafood industry to join fight……..shrimp cannot see added benefits to existing framework

Instead of worrying about a competition can we not just promote shrimp as being a healthy alternative protein from red meat.

Shrimp markets growing fast enough, by some accounts faster than the plant based sector, and with……

…..farmed shrimp considered a perfect protein frame and resultant healthy packet cultured in nutrient rich bio-reactor (the pond).

….and also seperated from sea caught fished (hunted) shrimp.

…..as well as actually seperated from being a ‘fish’ thank you very much.

Dark side of plant-based food…..

hmmmm……..dark side……more about the money……vegan wars..

…on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most consequential disruption of agriculture in history.

Haha – shrimp aquaculture already is a disruptive force in seafood – disruptive to industrial fishing.

10% y-o-y growth – shrimp industry is looking at 7%. Plenty of room for all. Let’s keep to the bright side of the road…

Game changers – the movie. Well worth a look at……but what about the whales?

Game changers the movie link here.

While it makes sense to follow the dietary route shown on the film documentary and fish farming gets short thrift there are no discussions on the prawn!

Lest we forget shrimp are not fish. A different narrative is slowly being grown around shrimp to take it to next level in healthy nutritional foods.

The premise of that ‘strong as an Ox’ – and who has seen Ox eat meat. Elephants and Rhinos the same. Yes great and all well and good for land based animals but, guess what, the biggest and most impressive mammal on this planet eats…….well yes shrimp !

Without shrimp one would not have whales.

Looking forward to developing further and seeing how shrimp performs in the protein space. You may be surprised.

Starting with don’t try this at home – until you have genetically reached your growth potential……..and then fine.
