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.

That was sort of my thought, too. Some of the rhetorical choices were pretty poor, but two points were well made -- that (a) actual reaction of fowl to force feeding suggests it's not a big deal and (b) the anti-foie-gras debate exists largely because fois gras producers have no clout and can't mount an effective defense. It'd probably be a stronger essay if most of the rest were ditched. >:)
