Your Food is not Politically Correct

Whole Foods has banned the sale of live lobsters in their stores. Somehow keeping the lobsters alive a bit longer seems more humane than having them killed en masse in a factory, but my moral compass is obviously defective because this whole business doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is a lobster more sentient than a chicken? Is selling live lobsters less humane than selling dead ones????

And, how about potatos? They dig THEM up out of the ground. Perhaps light to a potato is extremely painful. Take a look at this: Don't Slay That Potato, though you really should listen to it.

Also, D. Keith Mano's black satire The Bridge is seeming less and less absurd.
