I watched a program teh other night about prawn farms in Indonisia. they worked for pennies and lived in squalor as a result of our incessant demand for cheaper prawns . now I am in favour of intensive rearing as per teh chicken thread but this was real people living in crap as a direct result of our demands so was not teh same thing IMHO.
