I find the foie gras piece completely self righteous and self serving! If it's such a great experience for the ducks (and as we all know, they're only here on earth for your pleasure) why do you feel compelled to go to such great lengths to justify your appetite? Just say say you like it and you want to eat it. That's all that really matters. Since you obviously don't care for the animals and you obviously don't think about how eating at the very tippy top of the food chain "animalizes" starving people all over the world (including here in America where people experience the the "good" starving) who might make use of the three 240g servings of grain, why do you need everyone to tell you it's ok? Just eat it and shut up about it. Your whiny intellectualizing demeans the ducks!! AS Cat Stevens (google it) said, "You're still young, that's your fault. There's so much you have to go through." The good news is you will live long enough to see that you are wrong. The planet is already telling you that the way you want to eat, feel entitled to eat, is not sustainable. You, and that bunch of applauding sycophants, are just not listening.
I've never eaten Foie Gras in my life; but that's just my choice. I thought i'd share an article that I found interesting, and im glad you feel so passionate about it. I've never read anything (this well written) about the pro-side, so I'm glad I could put it out there.
