the question of whether or not fois gras is cruel is debatable. They say the geese get very happy and excited before their force feeding. Besides, they don't force feed them anymore. Nowadays, farmers feed their geese homones that give them insatable appatites so they will inflame their livers on their own. Either way sounds icky, but NOTHING beats the taste of a slab of seared fois gras.

Fois Gras is cruel, but when I taste it, I don't care. Where are all the small-farm creatures? I must have meat, and I can make up for cruelty to geese by supporting the 'fair?' slaughter of all the other doggies, right?

Okay, this is funny and all, but the "resources" provided at the end of the video are nigh-on useless for those of us who dislike the idea of factory farming, but have no intention of becoming vegetarians. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of small, local farms that raise their animals without antibiotics, allow them to roam, and slaughter them humanely. They'd appreciate your patronage, and I'd appreciate an easy way to find them.

Did anyone see that totally bizarre King of the Hill where Louann gets a job as a spokesmodel for pork products and her boss tries to turn her into the girl on the box? At the end he gets put the pork-parts-processing machine? It was really, really dark and creepy.
