As awareness grows about the impact of our food choices on animals and the environment, more people are seeking foods that help reduce their carbon footprints and are kinder to animals.Â
In the global aquaculture industry, about 440 billion shrimp are farmed and killed each year for human consumption. While the industry treats these animals as commodities, disregarding their well-being, research shows that shrimp can feel pain and suffer like other farmed animals.Â
It is time to recognize and respect the lives of these sensitive animals. One positive step we can take is to choose vegan shrimp, which is not only delicious and satisfying but a more sustainable and ethical option.
Here are some top vegan shrimp brands to explore today:
