Ha! I used to love steak and lobster. never a fan of bleu cheese, tho.
I don't see much of a problem if you had steak once a year on your birthday and lobster once a year on NYE.
BTW, there are some vegans who have found a justification for eating lobsters. I can't remember what they call themselves or what their justification is. The vegans who eat oysters call themselves bivalve vegans. And their justification is the oyster industry helps purify the water. But that is sort of weak. you could just have oyster farms and pay the farmers not to harvest the oysters. Plus if you stopped harvesting oysters you might not even need to cultivate them.
For oysters and lobsters part of the arguement is how could they be sentient? they don't even have brains. but despite oysters and lobsters not having brains they do experience pain.
My conclusion is to just leave seafood off my plate. The oceans need to heal or we all die.
Octopuses, crabs and lobsters are capable of experiencing pain or suffering, according to a review commissioned by the UK government, which has added the creatures to a list of sentient beings to be given protection under new animal welfare laws.

once a year would appease my cravings for these foods, that's some freedom, and that's all I need. The truth is I crave the taste of those things, and acknowledge it is selfish to value taste over creulty and exploitation. However, I try to keep in mind how important taste is to the human experience, and giving up meat and dairy forever is very difficult for many people. If everyone just ate more plant based, it could make so much difference, even if some couldnt be completely vegan
