US now importing shrimp raised on feces and harvested by inhumane slave labor
Monday 20th April 2015
Social media campaigns to stop human slavery and trafficking across the globe are currently in vogue amongst armchair activist millennials in the U.S. and elsewhere. But how many of these same folks would be willing to put their money where their mouth is and stop eating imported seafood, some of which is being brought in from countries that are actively buying and selling men as slaves to generate factory-farmed shrimp for export to the U.S.?
The illicit shrimp trade in places like Cambodia and Vietnam isn’t necessarily a hot topic in mainstream news, but it’s having a huge impact not only on food safety but on the lives of individuals who are literally being held captive against their will, oftentimes without any pay at all, in order to provide cheap seafood for export to First World nations. And the products they’re selling are more often than not tainted with harmful bacteria and chemicals.’

Asian Seafood Raised on Pig Feces Approved for U.S. Consumers
...... Yang Shuiquan, chairman of a government-sponsored tilapia aquaculture association in Lianjiang, 200 kilometers from Yangjiang, says he discourages using feces as food because it contaminates water and makes fish more susceptible to diseases. He says a growing number of Guangdong farmers adopt that practice anyway because of fierce competition.
“Many farmers have switched to feces and have stopped using commercial feed,” he says.
