Well, when we're mass-producing our dinner like Model-Ts, we can probably afford to give a couple of hoots.

Brilliant article — read before you rant.

Don't mistake my comment for a proto-rant. It was more of an expression of my disgust with myself for actually thinking about and feeling pangs of guilt for the lobster's suffering. My mind is weak.

I read this article this past weekend and was surprised that Gourmet even ran it!
Yet, at the same time I've never enjoyed an article in Gourmet magazine more than I did this one.
What a fabulous writer!

Only in the modern world would we give two hoots if our dinner felt pain.
