1. Ugh.

Edited on Fri May-05-06 02:34 AM by shockra

Last week I was reading about a guy who advocates freezing lobsters as a humane way to sedate them before cutting them up. It's a response to David Foster Wallace's essays about the cruelty of boiling them alive.

"What is really sad about David Foster Wallace's essay on lobsters from Gourmet is that he misses the point about lobsters as food. Live lobster is one of the last feasts still harvested in a sustainable fashion directly from nature by individuals, not corporations, and sold absolutely fresh, without processing."
