Bleah. Made me feel like I was watching Irwin Mainway defend his products on Consumer Probe. "Hey, lady! Everybody gotta suffer! Why, I could step on a little puppy on the way to the kitchen! Yeah, where are the activists there?" The insinuation that this whole issue is trivial until we tackle world hunger(?!) struck me as especially low, the sort of tactic activists get real fucking sick of after their first couple debates.
And it's a really bad sign that I feel so moved to trash this essay... since I've never been especially opposed to foie gras. In fact, I think I'm more inclined to look into those claims about duck and goose feeding now that I've read it, which had sounded plausible to me before, because now I'm suspicious...

"Hey, duck! Be careful! Broken glass!"
