So this post finally convinced me to read "Consider the Lobster", even though it has been referenced numerous times in various lectures throughout undergrad and grad school. I think the way the article ends is a wonderfully pointed but still respectful arrow, directed towards those who are unwilling to have the conversation at all. Wallace so excellently convinces one that, at the very least, we should be willing to discuss and ponder the ethics of our eating habits unless we want to remain intellectually destitute for the sake of protecting our lifestyles.
