More prawns in a culture war?

Today Glenn reminds us that there are people who still believe that God hates shrimp.

The last time the issue was raised, my, um, thoughts were convoluted, but I offered this picture in the hope that perhaps a few soles souls could be saved before the war on shrimp goes down to, um, defeat:

Sigh.

So what's the lesson for today?

"Love the scamp, but hate the scampi"?

MORE: Yes, I'm afraid that's what the sign says....

Do I have to?

Imagine if Walmart sold shrimp. Shrimp sold by those poor soles who are taken in chains every day by Walmart security to the slave galley. Can you imagine the outrage?

I have a bunch of mussels and scallops in my refrigerator waiting to be eaten soon.

YHWH must have thought shellfish were disgusting. Whatever YHWH found disgusting was prohibited in the book of Leviticus. The Children of Israel had to obey because He was their God and they were His Chosen People.

"by those poor soles"

Ah, seafood humor. :)

My poor sole flounders in defeat.

Love the shellfish but throw away the shells after you're done.
