I'd be suspicious of anything made from algae considering the high levels in some algae of a neurotoxin called BMAA, which has been linked in studies to ALS. Also, prawns aren't even nice, why make fake ones!?

Yes, I'm not really interested in any of that, and I've never even heard of BMAA.

I suspect prawns are perfectly nice creatures if you don't kill them, although I can't say I've made their acquaintance often. :)
As for their corpses, which certainly aren't nice, who knows if this stuff would really prevent people from killing them?
Some of this smacks a little too much of the 'fake vs. real' that's in that famous film, er, I think it's called 'Knife Walker' or something.
