Consider the pig, chicken, duck and cow. Unless you’re vegetarian, it’s a bit hypocritical. Of course people are squeamish about lobster because it’s the only animcal we actually see being killed. Nonetheless, it’s worth knowing how to cook a lobster humanely.

I enjoyed “Consider the Lobster” and would recommend it too. Thank you!
