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 saw it done on a farm in France some years ago, which was where I first heard about the idea that foie gras was a horrible animal-rights issue. He's quite right that the ducks don't mind. You've never seen a healthier flock of birds than the ones ten days from slaughter on that foie gras farm.

I believe the general consensus in France now is that American activists need to stick with their McDonald's and stay out of issues involving real food - since they clearly know nothing about it.
