NPR and advocacy group Public Citizen have reported on the disgusting and dangerous conditions of Asian shrimp farms, the same farms that supply 90% of the shrimp in the United States. The Young Turks Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss.

1. I just bought some frozen Shrimp yesterday!!!
I'm checking the package to see if it's from China.

If it is, I'm throwing it away. From now on, I'll only eat shrimp I know came from US or Canadian suppliers.


Cenk goes over the top with the "mad cow" hamburger fear, I think, but it's true many foods present more threats than they used to just 20 years ago.
