The late David Foster Wallace--my precursor--tackles an unusual topic: the morality of eating lobsters.
Having eaten lobster all of two times in my life, I'm hardly qualified to judge whether lobster-consumption counts as a moral monstrosity. And I hate PETA on principle. Still, Wallace makes a convincing case that boiling a lobster alive should at least tickle our conscience.
Read this piece, and you'll understand the lobster scene in "Annie Hall" with a new perspective.
