|For the record...Any half way decent chef knows THC isn't water

|Vodka is a type of alcohol and I disregarded any alcoholic
|methods b/c it'll definitely hurt the lobsters. So let's
|assume you don't know it'll cause pain, you still have the issue
|where the thc is lipophilic and lobster's blood is hemolymph and
|doesn't readily absorb thc. The weed energy drinks I am aware
|of have some sort of "diol" (alcohol, ethanol, butanediol, etc)
|to "store" the THC which doesn't change the physics of the issue
|at hand.

|Emulsifying the thc infused oil doesn't change the fact the thc

|Since lobsters don’t have a central brain really you can‘t stab them
|to kill them anyway, and if you have a drug that can fully remove
|sensation to the point of not sensing boiling water, you can simply
|use that drug to kill the bloody lobster. We have two simple ways
|of killing lobsters without causing harm already: suffocation with
|an inert gas (nitrogen, helium, argon; xenon) or flash freezing
|them. There‘s really no reason to further experiment. Shops do not
|need live lobsters anyway, and flash frozen lobster lasts. So why
|would any lay person do these bulkshit mad scientist experiments?
|The other humane option is to take a hammer and to fully flatten the
|‚face‘ and body of the lobster in one blow.

|u/PancakeBuny - 12 hours
|
|You’ve likely never had much fresh tuna. It’s blast frozen
|to preserve and kill parasites. Flash frozen fish is pretty
|normal. And in many cases what you want to happen for that
|kill step. Same with flash frozen lobster. It does a
|great job of preserving before the ammonia appears from the
|body breaking down.
|u/sadrice - 9 hours
|
|Tuna is actually one of the few wild fish that is safe to
|eat raw, unfrozen, and is often exempt from regulations
|requiring freezing ([here’s an example](https://web-
|dfsr.s3-fips-us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com/Iowa/assets/File/
|14%20Parasite%20Destruction%20Requirements.pdf)). There
|are probably other safe fish, but tuna is unique in having
|a long cultural history of people eating it raw without
|problems, so that gives us the data for governments to
|trust it. Still, unfrozen tuna is rare, unless you are
|getting it straight off the boat, and I believe they
|generally freeze their tuna at sea immediately after
|catching anyways.
|u/PancakeBuny - 9 hours
|
|Fortunately true for the Tuna for sure. The big'uns, I'd
|be happy to take a bite out; I'd dream of fresh bluefin,
|might be hesitant on yellowfin. And comparatively to
|swordfish it could be infested and still clean in my
|books since its parasites aren’t nearly as nasty! But
|you're spot on that It is incredibly rare to have fresh
|never frozen tuna, Espically bluefin. Tsukiji market is
|an incredible place, and seeing that Tuna auction will
|always be a highlight of my years in Japan. But the
|price they pay dictates that flash frozen fish is king.

|For one instance that I'm aware of- frozen fruits and

|u/sadrice - 9 hours

|Frozen can potentially be processed day of harvest, in a

|If they won't, I will. Freezing is considered the most
|humane way to euthanize invertebrates (per the breeders,

|decentralized nervous system, acute trauma does not cause
|their bodily functions to cease. A pin through the head is
|performative at best, and needlessly stressful. I once had
|the pleasure of training a new cook who threw live lobsters
|into warming water before the boil. I'd never felt so bad.

|Flash freezing is by far a better process in most cases for most

|Not really. It's functionally equivalent to putting the

|are by definition inert. It feels just like oxygen, except
|you don't get oxygen. It's not toxic.
|u/ChemicalRascal - 12 hours
|
|That's not what toxic means. Inert gases are non-toxic.
|They're inert. You would be fine to breathe an argon-oxygen
|mix, in an approximate 3:1 ratio. In the same way you'd be
|fine to breathe a nitrogen-oxygen mix. In fact, you're
|breathing a nitrogen-oxygen mix right now. Because the
|Earth's atmosphere is only about 21% oxygen, with the vast
|majority of the rest being nitrogen (off the top of my head,
|about 70% is nitrogen). I admittedly can't recall if that's

|Many of the major health organizations recommend a vegan diet,

|diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the
|life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy,
|childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes." If your doctor

|Cool, then advocate for more humane practices and stop shoving
|your beliefs down others throats. You’re wasting your time
|trying to get the whole world to stop eating animal products.
|You ever think that maybe you could make more of a difference
|working with omnivores instead of ostracizing yourself from the
|majority of the population and shaming predatory mammals for
|doing predatory mammal things… As much as you kick and scream,
|we’ll never be ruminates, as cool as that would be. Although I’m
|sure you’re aware that ruminate mammals will also eat other
|animals even though it’s not a dietary necessity. Just wait
|until climate change wipes out virtually all crops that are
|edible to humans and animals become our main source of food,
|because cows and other ruminates are capable of taking food we
|can’t eat, and turning it into food we can eat… These childish
|views that you and other vegans hold, are devoid of critical
|thinking and I’m really fed up with it.
|u/cactus_deepthroater - 11 hours

|Cool :) Animal agriculture is a large part of why climate
|change is so bad. Also without crops, what are livestock gonna
|eat? Without crops you won't have any animals to be cruel to.
|Well, I guess you could just hunt wild animals to extinction.
|Also, your beliefs get shoved down my throat at every turn, so
|idc if my beliefs annoy you. If you're getting that pissed at
|my views, you were never gonna change yours in the first
|place.
|u/No_Excitement4272 - 11 hours
|
|Our current agricultural practices in general are part of
|the reason why climate change is so bad. That includes
|crops. Some crops are even worse for the environment than
|livestock, you know this. Not all livestock eat the same
|food as humans… A great example are goats. They can digest a
|variety of plants that are poisonous to humans, including
|some of the worse invasive species, like English ivy.
|Without cows, 100% of the world’s fertilizer for crops would
|come from chemicals, instead of 50%. Stop using your
|feelings to justify your stupidity, and take the time to
|examine your biases and where you’re getting your info
|from. For someone who supposedly cares so much about
|animals, you sure don’t know a whole lot about them.
|u/cactus_deepthroater - 10 hours
|
|The fact remains that crops are needed either way, why not
|just cut out the middle man and eat the crops directly.
|Plant based fertilizers are a thing. Most of our crops go
|towards feeding animals, so crops would be a lot less of a
|strain on the environment without livestock. I'm not using
|feelings alone to justify anything. And veganism isn't
|about environmentalism anyway, it's about animal rights.
|If woman having rights was somehow harmful to the
|environment, would you take away womans rights? I hope
|not.
