It seems to be that the food we eat reflects our consciousness and our reverence for life. Living in Maryland with summer approaching has many people thinking of crabs. Steamed crabs. Steamed alive. Everyone knows it and everyone ignores the fact because -1: everyone knows that crabs don't feel pain. 2: They're not cute and fuzzy. And 3: (and most importantly) they don't want to think about where their food comes from. It's sad. A living thing is cooked alive for fleeting pleasure. And people will joke about. Even sadder.
Crabs do feel pain. Many studies have now proved this.
And not giving thought to what we consume shows a frightening lack of reverence for life - our own the creatures we share this planet with.
Lets think before we eat.
Peace,
Eric
