Special post--Thai shrimp, western consumers, Burmese workers--
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aue2VLD2icA
You won't believe this, but this video was recommended for me by Google.
The next one is abt Norwegian farmed salmon.
I buy my shrimp and salmon, a $20 package every 3-4 weeks at Whole Foods. bc it is the only supermarket now near me.
I am eating more beans and bean products and vegs, since Jan 2020 to 10 years ago.
The thing with beans if you have to eat a lot of beans to get the same amount as animal protein.
My mother and many others in Burma died of liver cancer.
My sister in law ( a pathologist's) husband, a radiologist himself, told me in mid 1970s that liver cancer is very prevalent among urban Burmese.
(after autopsy of a Burmese business women Ma Myint, who was vegetarian for religious reasons, doctor who performed autopsy saw her liver and asked "Did she eat a vegetarian diet for long periods of time?)--I know she ate mostly mushrooms.
Dr K L said that rural people did not get liver cancer so much bc they ate fish paste and fish sauce.
But I do not know if that's true now or not.
A former economics MA student of mine is a mangrove specialist.
In 2006 I went with a student group from Chulalongkorn Univ. to
1. A medium size shrimp shelling workhouse
2. A bigger tuna canning factory (but the tuna themselves were quite small, abt 10 " in length)
both in Mahachai (Big Fort) area, across the river from Bangkok.
ALL the workers were Burmese.
I have never been to Chantaburi in the SE of Thailand.

Rochester demonstrations --
Protests begin in Rochester after video of police suffocating Daniel Prude is released
Police body camera footage released on Wednesday shows Rochester officers handcuffing Daniel Prude, placing a hood over his head and pressing his face into the pavement until he is silent. In the video, medics performed CPR on Prude before he was loaded into an ambulance. Prude died seven days later on March 30, with an autopsy report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office saying his cause of death included “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint.” His brother, Joe Prude said he initially called police for help because Daniel was having a mental health incident.
