Foie Gras
As the ban is lifted on Foie Gras, a piece in the New York Times points to two videos: tabloid enfant-terrible light, Anthony Bourdain (is it just me, or are celebrity chefs this decade’s equivalent of the equally vacuous, contrived fame of the Super Models of the previous one), who claims mock disbelief that “fanatical stealth vegan extremists believe that the force feeding of ducks to plump their livers is actually cruel”. vs a fake promotional ad for French foie gras produced by an animal welfare group. I’ll post them alongside each other, so you can hit play at the same time, on both.
