Foie gras, sustainability, and fancy restaurants.

A very interesting and well thought out opinion piece by the owner of an upscale San Francisco restaurant, concerning the foie gras issues and general issues of food choice.

Thoughts welcome.

I don't think I quite took the same message out of it. I thought he wielded rhetoric poorly, but I really read it as saying "If you actually care about where your food comes from, then foie gras is a distraction; something to give you a hollow sense of good feeling while you're ignoring the issue of mass factory farming." Honestly, I thought he made a fairly good case on that front, but maybe it's because I'm already fairly aware of the evidence he referred to.
