Chicago Bans Foie Gras
There I was, peaceably reading the New York Times online, when I came across a story about a Chicago sausage restaurant fined $250 for selling foie gras. Apparently the city council, outraged or incensed or maybe perplexed over the forced feeding of geese that leads to the over-sized livers, banned the food in April 2006. Did the council ever check what goes into Vienna sausages? Maybe France should act in equally rational measure and refuse to allow the city to serve Bordeaux and french fries.
