I was thinking about raising a lobster...

I wonder if the OP meant raising a big ol' lobster in order to eat it.

If so--it's cheaper to just buy one. They take 6 to 8 years just to reach market size, and the really big ones are over 10 years old.

You could be right, I wish I saw the episode haha. I agree with your entire post.
