Good topic.

AKIRA -
I keep a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer at all times...
from Costco, cooked, tail off, salt added.. they aren't huge, but not tiny either (50 - 70) per pound

serving size = 3oz (about 11 shrimp)
Calories = 70
Fat = 0
Sodium = 250mg
Carbs = 0
Dietary Fiber = 1g
Sugars = 0
Protein = 17g

I'm glad you asked about the protein content; I didn't realize that there was salt added to these! I'll have to start buying them fresh and freeze them myself!

I made a salad over the weekend with romaine and a cup of shrimp. It was glorious.

Free range chicken....Bill Engvall was on Comedy Central talking about them in his bit last night. Funny stuff.

For a long time, shrimp's cholesterol content gave it a bad reputation. But that was before scientists learned that cholesterol in food doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels nearly as much as saturated fats and trans fatty acids do. And shrimp, in particular, has proven to be innocuous: A study at Rockefeller University in New York found that consuming 300 grams of shrimp per day--the equivalent of about 55 shrimp--did not adversely raise cholesterol levels in people who had normal cholesterol. "Shrimp is no longer viewed as a villain because it has very little fat, and what fat it does have is of the unsaturated and omega-3 fatty acid variety, which help with rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of inflammation," says Diekman. Plus, it's a great source of protein and low in calories--there are 14 grams of protein and only 66 calories in a dozen large steamed shrimp.

Shrimps are great but do you want to talk about bread?

It is great, fun and entertaining. Open chat.

This shit isn't funny anymore.

On a related note, I don't eat shrimp anymore. It's the only food that I won't eat due to ethical reasons.

Shrimp trawlers kill 9 pounds of sea life (and throw it back into the sea) for every pound of shrimp they catch. They also use weights on the bottom of their nets that destroy the coral that it passes over. Some of which may have taken over 200 years to grow.

Interesting

...what types of sea life to they kill? Can scientists do anything legally to curb what's happening to the coral?

All kinds of sea life. It's estimated that the loss of sea life (just from shrimp trawlers) is in the hundreds of millions of tones each year.

So far, theses not much that can be done to stop it.

If you use bittorrent, download this movie. It's not a feel good movie...

Goodfella9783 · 04-02-2007, 07:53 PM

Before I download it: is it really twisted and disturbing? Or is it like a Discovery Channel type deal?

It's from the BBC. It's not twisted, just sad.

Thanks. I'll check it out tomorrow. I got a porn torrent (thanks LittleWing) going right now and my computer is already slowed down.

I use to be a vegetarian for several years in my early 20's after reading all sorts of these things for a paper I had to write in school. I use to cry and it would break my heart. Then I became anemic and realized my diet had to change. I can't read stories like this anymore (I didn't read it) because I could easily switch back to being a vegetarian in a heartbeat if I do. So now the best thing for me is to always buy organic and humane foods. At least I feel a little better about my conscious. I just have to remember that we are omnivorous, and we are suppose to eat meat, seafood and eggs.

That being said, shrimp is one of my favorites so I know for SURE, I can't read this

I don't mind that animals are raised (or hunted) and then killed for food. Like you said, it's what we are and what we do.

It's the sheer amount of senseless waste that has made me stop eating shrimp.

And trust me, you don't want to watch that film.

BoneCrusher · 04-03-2007, 01:11 AM

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There, uh, shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole... shrimp gumbo, panfried, deep fried, stir fried.

Mista · 04-03-2007, 01:28 AM

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

DOMS - have you ever seen the movie Endless Summer II? I caught it the other day on the Indie channel. It's a documentary that surrounds two surfers going all around the world in search of the best spots (Alaska, Austrailia, Java, South Africa, ect.). I've never surfed, so that aspect is unimportant if you don't. But the scenery, wildlife, different cultures, geology and so on all make it worth it. If you appreciate nature it's pretty excellent. It's from 1994. There is an original from the 60's, but from what I've heard, this one is far superior. Check it out.
