foie gras debate


The debate over animal rights and carivorism has in recent years been distilled down to one issue: foie gras. It's stupid, because the production of foie gras is insignificant compared to factory farming of chicken, say. But by the same token, it's become the lightning rod because it's perceived as a product aimed at a small segment, the "elite", of society.

Well, I know which side I stand on, you probably know which side I stand on, and if you don't like it, that's fine - just don't try to bully me into thinking that I'm wrong. And definitely don't try to take away my freedom to choose a side.

But there is nothing more that I could say, nor express as well, as what is written here. It's a good read, take a look.
