Powerful Lobster Lobby Cries Freedom!

For those who don't necessarily want their dinner to scream while being cooked, Whole Foods Market salutes you. According to the Austin American-Statesman, the Austin-based company will no longer sell live lobsters, effectively immediately, out of concerns for overcrowded conditions in the tanks. Instead, Whole Foods stores will offer only frozen lobster choices. You go, lobsters! Your time is here!

So how do those poor lobsters feel, sitting all alone in that ice-cold freezer? I would think they'd prefer a nice warm soak with their friends in a tank.
