I hit you up with a link to all of them on twitter.<br /><br />There's been a lot of development regarding foie production, and it hit pretty hard here in Atlanta. If you want me to toss you any of that stuff, you know where to find me.<br /><br />Cheers!foodiebuddha.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722643363923551524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806746107661934299.post-37275091139985928872011-11-27T18:12:20.464-08:002011-11-27T18:12:20.464-08:00Val: I certainly want the readers to decide for th...Val: I certainly want the readers to decide for themselves after watching the videos, but I suppose my basic stance is that if you think foie gras is cruel then you shouldn't be eating Tyson chicken either!<br /><br />Foodiebuddha: I had not seen that talk before, thanks for sharing it!gourmetpigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043385325645560283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806746107661934299.post-44212269148469247532011-11-26T23:57:29.794-08:002011-11-26T23:57:29.794-08:00have you ever seen Dan Barber's talk about the...have you ever seen Dan Barber's talk about the best foie he's ever had?

I'm not sure if you intentionally leave the interpretation open to the viewer/reader - some will take away the message that both are cruel (regardless of what the esteemed Mr. Bourdain says) and industrial chicken farming should be banned (which California Proposition 2 set out to do); others will interpret it to mean that they're just animals and neither process is cruel. Certainly a conversation starter! What is your position on this?Val @ Trippy Foodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837784737110661597noreply@blogger.com
