Liver Let Live: Updates on the Foie Gras War
September 20th, 2005 at 12:45pm
An excellent post over on the superchefblog sums up more recent developments in the great Foie Gras war of 2005.
It heartens me to read that:
“Chefs Rick Tramonto and Charlie Trotter, who are on opposite sides of the debate, have finally found common ground on foie gras: both object to the city government legislating what people are allowed to eat. They believe it is up to restaurants and customers to decide.”
Finally! Someone advocates for personal choice and responsibility.
There are already measures in the works in Massachusetts, Oregon and New York, and California has apready passed a bill banning the production and sale of foie gras starting in 2012.
