Foie gras ban is a matter of respect
- Share via
WHILE I believe that one should be sensible about all things, I don’t think that absence of foie gras is going to affect gourmet dining [“Chicago Says No to Foie,” by Russ Parsons, May 3]. It’s tasty and all that, but the planet will continue spinning if I never get to eat it again. I totally disagree with the suggestion by some chefs that other edibles may be targeted next. If the overall result of this ban is for us to treat all living things with a little more respect, then it’s the right thing to do. Let’s enjoy our food, but let’s not torture absolutely everything before we eat it!
