They're SUPPOSED to be alive when you cook them - it's the best way of telling that they're safe to eat !



I would eat them, how anyone can justify buying them and then not eat them is wasting that life. If find it irresponsible for anyone to waste it is too much a problem now a days.

It is unfortunate that your knowledge of food is lacking and it should be on that basis you learn like everyone else. Not your fault just the way of the world the little we know the more they can get away with!!

Maybe invest in some cooking classes, take a trip to a seafood restaurant or shop and ask for advice and don't feel guilty. It is life and it is our duty to act fair in which I mean where I buy a product and what I do with it.



"Mussels" don;t have a nervous system and cannot feel pain. The shells open not necessarily because they are a still alive but because the muscles contracted as it cooks.

their lives have ended, yours go on. o need to get all emo over it. You too will die at some point. Eat them so they are not wasted. If t bothers you, don't do it again.



Eat them.

If you bought them in a restaurant, they'd be killed like that on your behalf anyway.

Don't let them go to waste, and don't eat meat, fish or any kind of "Seafood" again if you feel this badly about it.



They have to be live when sold because otherwise they go off very quickly and can cause serious food poisoning if they are dead before being cooked.

Don't feel bad about it, enjoy the meal.



Realize that all meat and fish are alive at some point and all hurt to die. It's the chain of food rule,



Eat them. They're tasty.



Eat them, do not make them die in vain.



Live and learn..



The fact that you feel bad means you have a conscience. Don't do it again. The more you engage in things that harm animals directly or indirectly the more you become accustomed to it, as if its just another part of life, and you start to disregard animal life.



Regardless of whether or not you killed them yourself, they're still going to die in order for you to eat them...I'm not sure what the problem is. If you don't like killing animals don't eat them.



It's okay.

Unless you're a vegan, you pay for far more horrific animal suffering to occur every day.

Don't worry about it.



Go to youtube and watch this video "Meet your Meat".
