Fresh from a weekend of girlfriends, cocktails, food, games, food, cocktails, gossip, food, cocktails, music, cocktails, food & my favorite ..... every one's cocktail-food ..... shrimp! So, after eating my share of the succulent platter and thinking all that could possibly happen is elevated cholesterol ... I just by chance RE-read an article I forgot all about: The Five Grossest Things You Can Eat! You guess it, smack in the middle of that list is shrimp! Having two little beady eyes looking at you and a slimy black vein to remove are the least of the gross issue. What makes them so gross they are one of the grossiest things? Most of the thin shelled ones are imported from "farms" overseas .... hmmmmmm could that be China ..... whose tanks are plied with chemicals to disinfect their filthy farming pens. Add to that our pinky friends are also snacking on and swimming in Rat turds and bugs. Yummy! Only 20% of the farmed imports are even inspected!!! .... WTF??? You want better .... there is better ...say it ... say it ... say it with me now .... DOMESTIC !!!! That's right the best and safest is home grown from the Gulf. When will we learn to eat what's in our own backyards. Sigh!
