We Want Our Foie Gras Now!
Activists from NYCs anti-foie gras campaign are all in a tizzy after [Fairway Market hung a large sign at its Upper West ][Side store that insisted foie gras is not inhumane but is one of life's "greatest gustatory pleasures."] The animal-lovers insisted the store remove the sign, and management did so in just a few days. But members of Farm Sanctuary, an animal rights group that was essential in banning the delicacy in California, wont stop there. They plan to hand out leaflets in front of the store until the grocer stops stocking the liver altogether. Foie gras is considered inhumane because the ducks and geese that lend their liver so human tummies can be happier are forced fed and often kept in tiny cages to decrease the chance of exercise. Kind of sounds like a lot of Americans, no?(http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/)
