Blog Post #4

In the beginning of the article I appreciate how the author explains the festival and all the details of it. He expresses in a non bias way what the Maine Lobster Festival is about and even gives a website for a recipe of the winner in a cook off in the setence, "The winner of Friday's amateur cooking competition prepares Saffron Lobster Ramekins, the recipe for which is available for public downloading at www.mainelobsterfestival.com." I also think he did an excellent job defining the biology of a lobster. I think it makes the article more appealing to humans if he explains them as living creatures and compares them to other animals. When he explains how lobster were poor mans food and were actually seen as nuances and unpalatable it opened my eyes to the fact that it all has to do with supply and demand. Since we have already over fished most of the ocean we now see things that are rare as a delicacy instead of realizing the strain we out on our earth.
