Funding inspections is great, but I’m still waiting on Congress to care about workers’ rights more than dinner plates.

Shrimp safety sounds fishy when government’s trying to get its claws in your dinner budget.

Inspection funds are fine, but maybe the market—not Uncle Sam—should decide how much shrimp we consume.

I’m all for safer shrimp and supporting farmers, as long as it doesn’t cost us an arm and a leg at the checkout.

Finally, a bill that tackles forced labor in seafood—but let's not let it turn into a shrimp-sized Band-Aid on a giant issue.

Half the fund fights contamination, the other half sells more shrimp—balanced like a good surf and turf meal.

Shrimp inspections and boosting consumption? Sounds like Congress is putting their money where their dinner is.
