Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Animals. We are fucking herbivores. Every herbivore has a basic capacity to consume meat because every herbivore is MADE OF MEAT. If their bodies could not perform catabolism, they would not be able to live. Your body literally digests itself when cells die. But we are not adapted to eat meat except for survival in times of famine. The more meat a human eats, the younger they die, and the more major diseases they experience. THAT'S A FUCKING HERBIVORE.

Not even to consider that the animals we eat are vulnerable individuals whose very creation was an act of abuse. It is wrong to create an intelligent creature and then force it into a situation where it is dependent upon you for its survival. It is wrong to force an intelligent creature to become pregnant and bear a child. It is wrong to take children from their parents for financial gain. It is wrong to murder vulnerable individuals who are not a threat and do not want to die. Every step is wrong, and not just a little bit, these are some of the worst things you can possibly do to another individual. And most people do it several times a day, without giving it any thought at all. It fucking destroys me.
