Funny true story... My wife and I went to very upscale,sophisticated restaurant for an anniversary. We were seated in a nice secluded booth,but very close to the live lobster tank. As we sat there people watching and talking,we saw each waiter and waitress bring a couple over to the lobster tank and let each choose the living lobster they wanted for dinner. Interestingly, we noticed that after the chosen lobster was ceremoniously removed from the tank ,placed on a flat s.steel platter,and then carried into the kitchen.. The happy couple went back to their table, and sat down. Then, we began noticing something odd...after say five minutes or so, a waiter would carry a live lobster from the kitchen back to the lobster tank and drop it back in the tank. After seeing this process repeated several times, my wife and I had a light bulb moment. Ha,ha, the kitchen wasn't actually killing and cooking the live lobster. They were probably serving frozen Lobster. It was all for ceremony. Reminded us of the movie with Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick where rich people were told they were eating eating endangered animals at $100,000.00 per plate, but they were served turkey tettrazini.

You can't really freeze lobster though. I mean technically you can do it, but it doesn't come out right and you need to cook it first. That probably isn't what is happening. It is entirely possible picking the lobster is for show(I know Red Lobster doesn't keep track of who ordered what lobster), but the waiter probably was bringing out lobster from the back.

No, the first advantage is that scientists want billions to study it. Then later they'll say, like evolution that they've never found any real evidence of and now call "natural selection." You might notice that after they couldn't find any evidence of species mutation, i.e. the missing link, they decided it must be change WITHIN the species. Of course, EVERYBODY already knew that. People in just a couple of generations have gotten bigger and taller. So now they call global warming, "climate change." They changed their minds after it started getting colder in several areas and other scientists proved it. Oh well, wrong again, give em' a few more billion and eventually they'll figure it out, if you don't go broke first.

In the future farm raised live chicken, pork, and beef will be a delicacy and expensive. The reason why, is that companies will start to make cheaper plant based copies of animal products.

[@GameFuMaster]

chicken is already incredibly cheap due to greatly efficient factory farming. There's no reason why chicken would increase unlike lobsters which are difficult to farm and are wild caught.
