    Proposal to ban Foie Gras

    Ducks 'die in massive pain'

    "There is food spilling from the nostrils of these poor animals, who choke to death. As the [enlarged] liver fails, they develop a brain condition. You will see birds having seizures or in comas still being grabbed and force-fed. The liver is so expanded that, when the handlers put too much pressure on their abdomens, the livers may simply rupture and they die in massive pain and discomfort from internal hemorrhage," Cheever said.

    http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/...oiegras14.html

    After hearing the compelling testimony, the Health Committee took no action on a proposal by Ald. Joe Moore (49th) to ban the sale of foie gras in Chicago restaurants.

      I had this for dinner a couple weeks ago...

      Filet Mignon with Coffee Cocoa demi topped with Sauteed Foie Gras

      I try not to think about veal and foie gras production. I tried not to read the top of this thread. I may not be eating it again for a while.....

          Foie Gras done well is a culinary experience.

                  foie gras is just so delicious.
                  if you want to know what they do to chickens you won't eat those either,
                  oh and veal. lol please.

                  why don't we ban bull riding because the rope is around their balls and that's why they jump


                  Why don't we ban kids from playin goutside because 12 die every day getting hit my cars. 40,000 get a skinned knee and 100,000 fall out of a tree every year.

                      Ok, let's just go for a regular experience.

                      Have you eaten any of the following:

                      1. Pork
                      2. Meat
                      3. Chicken
                      4. Veal

                      If you answered yes to any of the above, you are a hypocrite.

                      All of our food is treated badly. There is no such thing as a scale of bad, no, just a little bad, to really bad like foie gras. It's the same thing as being a little pregnant.

                      Humans are the top of the food chain. There is a market for Foie Gras. I love Foie Gras, with a nice sauce and Chateu La Tour. If I thought of how my food got to me, I would never eat. Deal with it.

                        I'd also like to point out, this thread isn't getting alot of views, or posts.

                        My guess is that most of GFY have no idea what Foie Gras is, let alone tasted it, as it is exspensive.

                        I knew of the treatment of overeating before I had my first Foie Gras. After my first dish of it, I reordered another one. It never passed through my head again, till now.

                        I think I"m going to find a nice French place tonight to get some.

                                            I really wish I could go vegi or at least not eat stuff like Foie Gras - but I cant - I hate what we do to them but I just love it too much.

                                            I did actually go Vege for a few months when I was about 11 - my mum got sick of cooking 2 meals so she dragged me to McD's and that was the end of that. She is a wise woman.

                                                            been for ages like that, tell it to the french they cant put a pipe inside a bird to inflate it, Ive tried it, didnt work. Its not that different then ritual slaughter to me, both and many more are pure animal abuse. Nothing new though. And no Im no animal rights guy.

                                                                                Take a step down from that horse you're on toots. It's the process that should be banned plane and simple. If you have to get your food via this process then that is fucked up. I am sure that there are more humane ways of getting what you want. Now tell me mister know it all, just exactly what do they do to chickens and veal...this ought to be interesting. And no posting of the KFC chicken farms, we've all heard about that.

Like I said in a basement all black fusion alike chinese music romantic but really modern interior, pretty big and the food is just amazing. Not cheap.

                                                                                          I've never seen a Michelin rating for any restaurants here in the US or Canada. However, have had Foie Gras in both countries. I would rate the best of them that I have been on a scale of 1 to 4, 4's.

                                                                                                    You got so pumped because you thought I had no idea what Foie Gras was?!

                                                                                                    You assuming that just because I'm not European I had no idea?!

                                                                                                    You fucking looser!

                                                                                                    You just commited the crime Europeans accuse Americans all the time. Of being snotty, elitist, idiots. If I didn't read your program and figured you to be Dutch, I would have guess you were French.
