Whatever....pass the butter
Julia Child used to crack them down the back with a giant knife, worked for me.
BTW if they zap it in the store but don't cooking it on the spot they are going to have some unhappy customers.
Lobsters spoil very very very quickly.
Where were these liberals during our racist era? I'm sure the KKK would have welcomed them had they said "Racism is Dixie is a-ok because it's synonymous with slavery & Jim Crow laws & the like."
Don't they know that Maine lobsters are our brothers, too?
‘‘A lobster electric chair?’’ Martin said. ‘‘I wonder how that will sound for their public relations, that they’re going to give the lobster the electric chair.’’
Great quote from a fisherman on the last paragraph.
When I buy Lobsters, I buy them live to be prepared at home.
Will they provide home electric outlet jumper cables for their cutomers?
How long before the first thread to reports of Minimum Wage Employees Electrocuted?
I've been enjoying the Dungeness crab from WF this winter.
Are these well-to-do greenies really that ignorant of how primitive a lobster's nervous system is???
I hate Whole Foods.
The few times I've been in there, I'm surrounded by smug kommunists who hate the idea of profit - all the while manufacturing profit for their quasi-religious organic food jihad.
Maine- the only state without a Red Lobster restaurant. How's th' chowduh up thayuh?
Is Whole Foods REALLY concerned with how Lobsters feel, or are they trying to set up a case for doubled lobster prices (retail)?
This by itself would be enough for me to never do business with such a company again. I don't buy all that much lobster in any form (I do love it, but can't afford to have it as much as I would like), but good grief? Does the same store carry other forms of meat and fish? What about those poor fish caught in nets - bound to feel restrictive! And that "natural" beef - I wonder what went through it's mind when it went in the slaughterhouse door (other than a bullet)?
Give me a break. Are we humans, or are we trees? I would never propose taking a lighter and burning off the lobster's legs one at a time - but goodness - dropping them in a boiling pot is suppose to be some sort of inhumane treatment? Ummm... Last I checked - Lobsters were not human...
Wow! Maybe the liberals are onto something & can pass it on to the abortion industry: Abortion factories could be divided up into private rooms instead of being herded into wait rooms; & abortionists would use a device that zaps pre-borns to spare them the agony of being dismembered limb by limb.
If only pre-borns had "lobster-like" eyes that stared at ya through a glass-like abdomen, ya actually might get some behavior modification within the abortion industry!
Too cool.
This is a perfect example of Democrat/liberal principle.
"We refuse to do this ANYWHERE at ANYTIME (except a little bit here and there)"
The Whole Foods by me is filled with with smug, self absorbed X gen types that believe eating "organic" food is better for them.....
As a result, Whole Food charges premium prices for everyday food....
Stupid customers, holier than thou store....
One caller said that he orders Maine lobster a few times a year. To stun it he uses an eyedropper to force feed it a few drops of vodka. He said the lobster just shuts down.
I think the lobsters ought to be more worried about a Whole Foods employee who might be like that twisted sick deputy, 'Percy', from the movie 'The Green Mile'. They might forget to wet the sponge when strapping the lobster in the chair before it gets zapped.
