At the end of Wallace's article he concludes that he is not entirely sure  whether it is morally corrupt to eat lobster. He says, "Im also concerned not to come off shrilly or preachy when what i really an is more like confused" (Wallace 510). Therefore, instead of stating a direct opinion in his article he presents many different interesting and informative facts regarding the typical methods used to cook lobster, the morality behind it, and explores a setting, the Maine Lobster Festival, that examines the way that people participate in the activity. He does this in order to make the reader really think and consider all the implications that surround lobster consumption. I think that the facts regarding whether lobsters can feel pain or nor was particularly interesting because that is where i believe the main conflict with eating lobster resides. The best way to enjoy a lobster is fresh and that entails boiling them alive. However, if the lobster feels no pain because it has no brain then people can cook and consume their lobster essentially guilt free. However, if in fact the lobsters do feel pain, perhaps even more pain than humans do due to their lack of natural opioids (Wallace 508), then questions start to arise about whether it is alright to eat lobster. I think that whether the lobsters feel pain or not it is okay to eat them because they are killed just like every other animal that we eat. The differnece comes because we are doing the killing ourselves. If you are alright with others killing the animals for you to concume then it is hypocrtical to think that it is immoral to consume lobster. I think that Acheson's essay support the fact that consuming lobster is immoral because he seems to have a very negative view of the lobster industry in general. Throughout his ethnography he seems to portray the lobstermen as grown men that often act like children as they are caught up in the competition of being the best in the industry, or at least in their gang. Both authors work is connected in the fact that they both seem to think that at least morally, the world would be better off without the ridiculous competition of lobstering and the millons of lobsters that are boiled alive because of the industry.
