I can’t wait to see the results of this homework assignment from my favorite economist, Steven Levitt, of Freakonomics fame. He asks why shrimp has become so popular in the past 25 years, and requests that readers respond without doing any research or looking at anyone else’s comments. My response is number 500 (as of 8:00 PM PST, there are 671 posts). I was very Econ 200 in my reply (what can I say. My background is Intro to Econ from the economics mecca of the University of Chicago). Not as witty as the “I like shrimp” camp or “Forrest Gump” made shrimp so popular.

At any rate, if you have an idea, you should definitely add your 2 cents. I’ll probably post a link to Levitt’s results here as well.
