France: Foie Gras Declared a 'National Heritage'
News From France, an epistle put out by the French Embassy in the U.S. (free subscriptions at: [email protected] or 202-944-6060; www.ambafrance.diplomatie-us.org) incredulously a moi at least, that:
"The National Assembly of France has unanimously voted to declare the pate delicacy, foe gras, an official, and therefore protected, part of France's cultural and culinary heritage. According to the members of the Assembly, foie gras 'perfectly illustrates the adherence to heritage and the link to the land that characterize the originality of the French food model'."
What a bunch of crapola! Wonder what the EU's Brusselscrats think about that.

that was UNANIMOUSLY voted a national heritage by the National Assembly! This means even the Greens, if any in this assembly either voted for it or didn't vote - not even one vote against it - incroyable!

They know a good thing when they see it.
And when they taste it.
You've got to stop listening to the squeamish nobodies at PETA and trust your tastebuds!!!
Next thing you know they'll be asking the Eyetalians to lose the veal.
Frickin' culinary Visigoths.

to put animals thru such misery is one thing - to brag about it and revel in it is another - like me saying i hope you choke on your fois gras. You can defend the practice but to make fun of animal suffering, that crosses the line i'm afraid.

Slaughtering animals for food is and always has been part of the requirements for human beings to survive.
Slaughtering them with cruelty, or worse, raising them cruelly to be slaughtered is unnecessary.
