Why are lobsters boiled alive? Does it affect the taste so badly if you kill them two seconds before throwing them in the pot?

When they die their body release toxins,they have to be kept alive before cooking,there is no reason to boil them alive,some people stab them in the head before boiling them
They have no brain or nervous system so they feel no pain...It's basicly an aquatic insect

@FreeSpirit1 it’s an Arthropod but it has a brain and nervous system

@TexChik technically yes,but no capacity for pain . The brain is like a pinhead

@FreeSpirit1 it has response to pain, light , hunger , territoriality , mating , etc . It protects itself from predators

@TexChik marine biologists disagrees with you on the pain part. Lobsters have an incredibly primitive brain and nervous system which is unable to process pain.
I am going to eat them no matter what,. 😁
