tamidon | Don't bitch about Foie Gras

Chris Consentino of Incanto Restaurant(who has a cool blog doing fun stuff with food) writes a well thought out explanation in defense of foie gras. I happen to love the stuff.. He's been threatened by an anti foie group that has already done some very scary things to other restaurateurs. Attacking foie gras is like protesting fur...it's much easier to attack a very small group of rich people who wear fur than bikers who wear leather. Fur animals are cute while cows that we get our leather from are not. Trust me, if you saw where the majority of your meat comes from you'ld not worry about ducks eating the way nature built them.Most people don't eat foie but most everyone eats pork or chicken. That makes it easy to single out a small group to target.
