Do you deny the animal suffering inherant to foie gras? Have you no sense of moral ojection to override your own personal eating pleasure?xfervorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05266564968207305993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20976192.post-15207050671034125222008-10-04T17:15:00.000-04:002008-10-04T17:15:00.000-04:00For foie gras lovers, it was a day of liberation; for animal-rights advocates, a waterloo in the Windy City. On May 14, at the urging of Mayor Richard Daley, Chicago’s city council voted 37-6 to legalize the sale of foie gras in restaurants, overturning a nearly two-year ban on the fattened goose and duck livers.<BR/><BR/>While animal-rights groups, who oppose the practice force-feeding of ducks and geese to produce foie gras, hailed the decision, critics derided it, calling it a case of government intrusion into the dining room. While some chefs introduced so-called foie substitutes, others openly flouted the law, keeping foie gras on their menus.<BR/><BR/>Not surprisingly, foie gras lovers hailed the repeal. “Justice has been done,” said Ariane Daguin, owner of specialty foods purveyor D’Artagnan, which supplies foie gras to restaurants and gourmet stores. “We’ve been lobbying hard for this for the last two years.”<BR/><BR/>Cheers, <BR/>LaurieLaser Hair Removal Chicagohttp://www.nuumedspa.com/laser_hair_removal.htmnoreply@blogger.com
