They're shrimp in 3rd world countries only. Prawns in advanced nations.
I thought it's all about size? We have scrimps in the North Sea which are about 4 to 6 cm. Imported prawns are triple to quadruple that size.

I always assumed water was constant (ish) within our atmosphere and has been for billions of years. What's the problem with using it?

Ever tried to stop drinking water (or watery beverages) and rely solely on the moisture of the air?
Water has to be collected, processed and distributed for human consumption. As long as your water source replenishes simply by rainfall, water is cheap. The moment you use more water than is replenished, you run into problems.

For thousands of years people used water without processing. Only since the early 1800 were treatment plants made. And are not common in some 3rd would countries even today.

You might find this informative…


I was a little surprised that there have been no comments on the post by @InChrist. I was unaware of the ten-year aspect of atmospheric methane. I am a little curious as to if Professor Mitloehner's findings are generally accepted by concerned parties, or are there critics of this?

There's no problem with using it. Just don't put it in a bottle. According to the date on the bottle, that four billion year old water is ruined after just two years.

I was pretty surprised by dark chocolate and coffee being so high on the list.

*rolls up sleeves* But I'll take one for the team and give up beef, shellfish, and mutton.

Don't say I never did anything for you.

I looked into this, it's actually the bottle that degrades not the water. After a while the bottle leaches chemical that can taint the water.
I know this. I was just being silly. Of course the chemicals can subsequently be removed from the water.

Oh dear, dark chocolate and coffee and cheese and fish, but my wine habit seems to have little impact so there is that. Yippee! :oops:

For thousands of years people used water without processing. Only since the early 1800 were treatment plants made.
And since we have water treatment facilities, cases of cholera, dysentery and salmonella are greatly reduced.
And are not common in some 3rd would countries even today.
In 3rd world countries which still have a life expectancy of 43 years - what we had before water treatment.
Though it's nice to have clean water
It isn't just nice, it's vital.

And that doesn't take into account that we still use more water than is naturally replenished. The results are that ground water levels are reduced which leads to desertification and the need to drill ever deeper.
(A luxury 3rd world countries can't afford. But then, they usually don't have the population density and per capita use we have.)

Although they're quite similar in appearance, shrimp and prawns are two distinct species. Prawns tend to be larger than shrimp, and often taste sweeter. There are more varieties of shrimp, too.

Both animals have 10 legs, but prawns have pincers on three pairs of legs, while shrimp just have one clawed duo. Shrimp are also bendier than prawns due to their flexible shell structure, whereas prawns have overlapping segments and less mobility.

Nah, I think the solution is obvious, we should (re-)start eating people.
