I have a friend who is an entomologist, a doctor of entomology no less. He doesn't eat lobster, or any other type of mollusc, on the basis that they filter-feed and will quite happily chow down on faeces, just like any other insect.
Mind you he finds the texture of boiled eggs repulsive too, so it might just be him.

Just like cod, which my Hull fishing-town relatives taught me is a dirty, wormy fish unsuitable for consumption. All you can do with it is sell it to the naive land-lubbers...

Lobsters aren't molluscs, they're crustaceans.
Not even the same phylum.
I didn't say I was a doctor of entomology :)
So do plants, more or less.
