What I Learned About Shrimp Farming in Bangladesh
Bangladesh had a very rough history in the 60s, 70s. The British basically took all the wheat from the local population to use it in the war theater in World War II and ended up starving millions of people. And they had another famine where the US government was involved, actually. This was all called war politics, right? So Bangladesh had been selling stuff to Cuba and so Soviet Union,. Like we withheld grains from them. It's crazy. But these are people who have constantly been under foreign pressure.
