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.

Definitely an excellent essay. I've never had foie gras, but I can't see any good reason to ban it, and there seem many vastly more important food issues to worry about. Then again, while I believe farm animals should be treated humanely, I find PETA and the other "animal rights" organizations to mostly be composed of people who are either reprehensible, utterly moronic, or both.
