Here in Switzerland when children order shrimp at a restaurant I tell them that they come from the shrimp mines in the glaciers.

If they don't know about tapioca pearls, please keep in mind they resemble fish eggs.

Oh the lies we tell our children to protect them! When is the right time to tell them they’ve been dredged en masse from their homes in the ocean and left to die in a crate on the deck of a shrimping vessel? Or that they were possibly bred into existence in a facility of controlled environments intended to mimic their homes in nature where they’re allowed to live until they’re large enough to be eaten by ignorant people, inconsiderate of the miserable, short lives they’ve lived?
