October’s hunter’s moon is set to peak at its fullest around 7:26 a.m. Many people associate the hunter’s moon with being orange in color as it rises, but the same could be said of all full moons. Why the full moon is called hunter’s moonThe hunter’s moon is the first full moon after the autumnal equinox, which occurred on September 22 this year. The hunter’s moon is expected to be joined by Jupiter, a red giant star called Aldebaran and the star cluster Pleiades, according to EarthSky.

Louisiana catches about 70 million tons of shrimp, but it's not enough to meet America's surging demand. Cheap imports make up 90% of what the US consumes, and most of it is farmed in countries like India using controversial tactics. Dock prices in Louisiana have fallen to compete. Up and down the supply chain, companies worry this may be the last generation of Louisiana shrimpers. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

In a world that seems consumed by the trials of capitalism and the unyielding pressure to work, Robin Leach, the British television personality who died in 2018, noted one place that did it differently: In Italy, Mr. Leach said, they add work and life onto food and wine. Luciano Fregonese, the mayor of Valdobbiadene — a rural town of 10,000 people in Italy’s picturesque northeast, famous for its Prosecco — has lived such truths. “It’s not easy, because every weekend there is one or two or three or maybe more events to attend to, and every event it is common to drink wine, or Prosecco, and also to eat,” the mayor said in an interview, with the help of a translator. “It’s not easy to say ‘no.’”

Seafood is one of the most commonly fraudulent foods we come in contact with, according to the ocean-conservation nonprofit Oceana. Crab, lobster, and scallops have also been victims of fraudulent swaps — and some of the substitutions could be harmful to human health. But there are also entire criminal rings smuggling seafood across the world. They often fish illegally and have been involved in human trafficking. And how can we make sure we're getting the seafood that's on the label?
