Why won’t you eat lobsters, my love?
I feel sad for them…
Ahh — but you do eat meat, you’re not Vegetarian…
True…
Sigh — this blog isn’t intended to turn into lobster activism… but, it’s just my personal preference…
Why do you feel sad?
Do you know how they are cooked?
(Chuckles)… okay, so they have to be boiled alive? Is that it?
Uhuh…
(Shudders) — I can’t… seriously, just the thought of this — I can’t take it!!! >.< !!!!!!!
(Sigh) — that’s the main reason…
Yes.
If you had to boil something else alive to make it into a dish — fish? Crabs? Whatever? I wouldn’t eat it either if you told me that was prepared by boiling it alive to make it… no… I can’t… please don’t…
Something about being “boiled alive” really really bothers you…
YES.
I CAN’T. TAKE. IT.
THAT’S. GOING. TOO. FAR.
HUMANS. JUST. STOP IT!!!
Just leave it alone!!! We don’t need to eat it!!!
Okay… (nodding)…
I don’t like going to Chinese restaurants where you can see the fish in the fish tanks — I don’t like it.
Oh…
Of course, I still GO — there’s gonna be times and situations where family friends pick a place and we’re there — but JUST KNOW THAT I AM CRINGING INSIDE, MY LOVE!!! EVEN IF THEY ARE THE WORLD’S RICHEST AUNTIES AND UNCLES — I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Chuckles) — HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA…
I don’t like walking through fish markets, I don’t like that dead fish smell…
Oh… yeah… well… nobody likes that smell…
Yea but I don’t like walking through it either… I don’t like those types of markets.
Okay… (taking notes)…
Maybe I am in my own delulu bubble about the meat that I’m eating.
I’ve completely turned a blind eye to cows, pigs, chicken — even kangaroo! And lamb?! You’re right! I just — I don’t know why — I’ll eat them. Yes. But I draw the line at lobsters.
Okay.
I have read… that lobsters are highly intelligent…
Uhuh…
Same with octopus.
Oh?
I know I used to LOVE takoyaki… but to be honest, these days… I feel bad for them… I don’t really want to eat octopus either…
Oh? So it’s about that animal’s intelligence?
Well?! To some extent, yes?
Have you SEEN those Tik Toks where octopuses manoeuvre and free themselves from the craziest situations?!?!?!
(Chuckles) — yes, I’ve seen those…
HOW CAN YOU EAT SOMETHING THAT DISPLAYS SO MUCH INTELLIGENCE?!?!
IT’S SMARTER THAN YOU AND ME!!!
(Chuckles!!!!!!) LOL — okay — yes — it probably is smarter than us…
A lobster is like a pet dog — they RECOGNISE us… did you know that?!
LOL — what………………………
No, I’m serious… there’s been studies done… they’re HIGHLY INTELLIGENT.
And we’re just boiling them alive to eat them?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK?!!?!?!?!?!
Oh… okay… this is really, really sensitive for you…
It is… I can’t take it…
Please — I like the fancy restaurants but I’ll never order lobster if it’s on their menu.
Okay… (accepting)… (more note-taking)….
Thank you…
I love you!!!! ^__^ ❤ ❤ ❤
I love you too… xoxoxoxoxxx

I just have some follow-up questions about cows and pigs though…
SIGH — if we start talking about it too much then I WILL LOSE MY APPETITE TOO.
If we KEEP talking about how INTELLIGENT they are — I WILL RATHER THE MEAL TURNS INTO A VEGETARIAN MEAL.
Okay… (more notes)… (nodding)… (smiles)…
