P.T. Barnum is my hero.
Do they realize that lobsters are actually part of the insect world? Yes, I can still 'choke' them down, knowing this. ;-) What's next? No more bug spray or pest control for their markets, lest even one more cockroach or rat suffer needlessly? (And I like Whole Foods...)
No brain = no pain!
Lobsters and crabs have such underdeveloped nervous systems and brains that they don't feel pain.
These people are idiots.
Please pass the drawn butter.
Having driven through south Georgia a few times, I believe that you have more bugs per cubic inch than any place on earth.
The first time I experienced "love bugs" was in Georgia. (They fly coupled).
Someone needs to send Whole Foods pictures of fish being thrown on a deck. They can't pretend if it doesn't happen in their store, it's not happening. It's awful. It's inhumane. STOP THE SALE OF FISH.
And chicken - living lives of quiet desperation locked in drab windowless rooms - fed food and chemicals only for the purpose of fattening? Sick. Totally sick. STOP THE SALE OF CHICKEN.
Then what's with discrimination based on IQ? Wheat isn't as smart as chickens or lobsters, down that mean wheat can be ignored? It's cruel to leave young wheat outside, never to know shelter from rain -- or shade from a blistering sun. Doesn't Whole Foods know this? Should wheat be treated to the "hundred blades" treatment just because it's dumber than lobsters and chicken? Same for corn and spinach. If it's alive it has rights. No more cruelty for any of Earth's children... STOP THE SALE OF LOW IQ VEGETABLES....
We have it here in MD too. It's a pretty good place.
However, how do they refuse to serve lobster, but still sell meat of more intelligent animals - chickens (DELICIOUS, BTW) and cattle?

The freshest catch of the day isn’t from the sea! Let the lobsters swim free, but hang onto the taste with this delicious recipe.
MOCK LOBSTER
Adapted from a recipe courtesy of Philadelphia’s Singapore restaurant
For the “Lobster”:
4 medium potatoes
1 7 oz. can corn kernels
1/2 cup green peas
12 oz. Worthington Foods vegetarian “Skallops” or seitan
1 tsp. minced parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
Dash of pepper
1 cup flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
For the batter:
3 cups self-rising flour
2 cups water
Oil for deep-frying
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, and steam until soft. Add the remaining ingredients (except those for the batter) to the potatoes and mash. Divide into 10 equal portions. Mold the portions into chunks and dust with a little cornstarch.
For the batter, mix together the flour and water. Coat each “lobster” chunk with batter.
Heat the oil to 300°F in a deep-fryer. Add the mock lobster chunks and fry them until they are golden in color. Drain on paper towels.
For a tasty dip, mix together barbecue sauce with a little hot mustard.
Makes 10 mock lobster chunks.

PETA has discovered a vegetarian’s dream come true: New York’s May Wah Healthy Vegetarian Food, which offers everything from mock lobster to faux crab roll and shrimp (and also sells faux chicken, beef, and ham). These fab fakes taste just like the real thing, but no one had to die for them. Best of all, May Wah does mail order! For info, visit: www.vegieworld.com. |
That's pretty heavey anthropomophism,
'...because of the fate that awaits many of them -- being dropped alive into a pot of boiling water.'
"The ways that lobsters are treated would warrant felony cruelty to animals charges if they were dogs or cats,"'
Pity the PETA that tries to stop MDers from eating CRABS. Lobsters got nothing on 'dem blue crabs hon. Wonder why PETA never comes snooping around MD regarding "dropping crabs live into (MASSIVE) pots" and whining about it? The popular outrage would be murderous!
Oh, the horror, the horror! There are 'humane' ways to limit any suffering, if such suffering does occur - chill the lobby first or cut through it's meager brain, bisect it with a knife. I think it's implied we should be humane, a point seemingly lost on them.
I love these animal 'rights' activists. Do they care that poor plants are harvested to feed them? Remember the notion from the hippie era that plants had 'feelings'? Do they care that the plastic shoes they wear are sewn and glued in sweatshops in 3rd world countries so they can 'save a cow'? Well, I've vented long enough on that...
Only in Austin, Texas could something like this be concocted in someone's liberal, touchy-feely brain.....only in Austin.
"Will you walk a little faster?" said a turtle to a snail
There's a porpoise close behind us and he's treading on my tail
See how eagerly the lobsters and the crayfish all advance
They are running from the crock pot -- will you come and join the dance?"
"Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Won't you, will you, won't you, will you, won't you join the dance?"
"You really have no notion how delightful it would be
When they rescue us and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea"
But the snail replied "Too far, too far" and gave a look askance
Said he thanked the turtle kindly, but he would not join the dance
Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance
Could not, would not, could not, would not, could not join the dance
