"Sellers Shrug at Lobster Ban"

Still in the club.

According to an article in today's Boston Globe, people in New England aren't taking the ban by Whole Foods on live lobsters very seriously.

Celebrated lobster chef Jasper White (who hosted the publication party for my book, THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS) called the move "pure silliness."

And a customer at James Hook, a lobster retailer on the Boston waterfront, had this reaction: "If they ban the lobsters, what's next? I boil them and I'll eat them until the day I die."

- Last time I was at Kroger on Grand Parkway in Katy TX, they still had the lobster tank with live lobsters. I have no qualms about "boiling them alive". We Texans have been doing same to their smaller relatives, the mud bugs (crayfish to you folks east of us).

- The local Wal-Mart where I work dont sell Lobster anymore. But think they always had trouble with lobster tank. Not sure. . . . But Lobsters were big sellers.
