Please Don't Eat Me

over dinner at sushi tei in the village with felicia, we were seated facing a glass aquarium full of live lobsters.


people generally ask themselves this whenever they sit right in front something still alive which potentially may end up on their plate five minutes later:

"can i really eat something i saw that was alive a couple of minutes ago?"

but for these crustacean dudes in the aquarium in there looking out at us diners, one perennial questions may be on their mind:

"hookay guys... who's next? bob? joe? fred? or... could it be me?"

ignorance is truly bliss if animals like these dudes don't actually have to think or don't have the ability to think.


so i'd rather have my food served straight from the kitchen where i don't get to witness their last moments being alive before they end up as my dinner...
