A Tree Falling in the Forest: Unholy Foods

Unholy Foods

"Good news, my delicious friend. You're going to be a free-range lobster!" - Homer

"Customers craving fresh crustaceans will have to look beyond Whole Foods Market Inc. after the natural-foods grocery chain decided Thursday to stop selling live lobsters and crabs on the grounds that it's inhumane. "

I have only been to Whole Foods Market a few times. I'll never be going again.

The news account had an interesting statistic in it... 25 percent of lobster is sold live. I would have thought it was more. Maybe they don't count it as live if you buy it in a restaurant.
