Even if it's vegetarian foie gras, you can still add bacon, right?

I just love the way that some people take something as subjective as the way something tastes and try to impose their feelings about on the rest of us.... or people who think that by eating hamburger, they are somehow morally superior to those of us who occasionally enjoy a bit of foie gras. You eat flesh, you are complicit in the killing of that animal.

Foie gras is low-hanging fruit. Easy to pick on, expensive, seen as elitist. Ever see the way laying hens are treated? How about the pigs that are sliced up into your morning bacon? Only true vegans have a right to get into this argument. I've hunted, dressed, cooked & eaten game and, until you quit all forms of flesh eating (and wearing) you have no right to ctiticize & condemn anyone.

Foie gras is delicious. Really, really delicious. That's why people have been paying lots of money for it since the time of the Romans. I've worked with Chefs whose foie gras dishes were better than most of the sex you've probably had. Yeah... that good. Really.

Thank you sir. Scapegoating a largely inacessible gourmet item to expiate our guilt over the common everyday crap that pushes fat and cholestrol through the food supply pipeline and into our waistlines is what so much of this skullduggery is all about.

I have yet to meet a PETAphile who was as kind to humans as they are to animals.

@thefacts, you are probably a pedophile

the problem could be solve by doing nothing. Don't eat it but people are too involved with only themselves and don't care about the impact on others. That is why we should have a ban but Christine Quinn, the fat disgusting redhead, doesn't permit the bill to be hear.

I love PETA posts. Everyone gets angry.

The flaw in this competition lies in its concept. By trying to imitate Foie Gras exactly you are tacitly agreeing that it is delicious.

A veggie burger cannot replicate a hamburger, but can be a different kind of delicious.

Isn't this a bit like complaining about the fuel economy in a Rolls Royce rather than looking at the average gas mileage of the cars and trucks 99% of population is driving?

It seems to me the cruelty that's happening in factory farms that raise chickens, beef, and pork is far more important and much more relevant to most people's lives, not to mention obviously worse than what's happening on any foie gras farm. After all, only a fraction of the country has ever even tasted foie gras, let alone eats it on a regular occasion, so why focus all your efforts on that?

What's the deal with that PETA supporters? Do you just want to make some noise or do you actually want to solve a problem?

Amen. PETA's main concern seems to be bolstering the identity of the organization and its members, rather than actually improving the lives of animals. It's all noise that is easily tuned out. If you really want to help improve the welfare of as many animals as possible, support the Humane Society.

people are never going to some eating meat (even when i lived with my vegetarian girlfriend i had burgers for lunch) but this is a ridiculously cruel food that should be easy to abolish because it's so small.

in other words, they can actually solve a problem instead of just make noise.

I would say people aren't going to stop eating foie gras either - how many times has an outright ban on any product in this country actually worked? In fact, the short lived ban in Chicago just galvanized people into eating more of it. A more realistic goal seems to influence production standards where you can have the health community, organic movement, and other partners on your side. Those people don't care about foie gras because it doesn't have a meaningful impact on their goals.

the lies are from center of consumer freedom ( lobbyists from the dairy, fur, meat, tobacco etc _) who are killing animals and children. they put poison in our meals. Children are dying from obesity. PETA helps animals but in the long run they are stopping these corporate terrorist from destroying our planet, our health, our humanity

PETA are just a group of nuts and their radical tactics are mostly driving away people from the real issue. I rank them as effective as NAMBLA as one of the worst organizations ever! Anyone supporting them need their heads examined.

Time to have my hearty bacon and sausage sandwich!

ok, you hate peta, i get it.

but for once this is something that isn't radical & isn't hurting anyone, can you take a break from your bacon & sausage sandwich to admit that?

I hate to agree, but the radical activities that keep PETA in the public eye only serve to turn a lot of people off. However, this particular promotion is targeting the right audience and doesn't go off the deep end. Let's hear it for moderation!

Jen 6 hit the nail on the head, Faux Gras sounds perfect.

most of the people who attack PETA are those that profit from the cruelty of animals. we can't never agree with any org 100% but the point is how this animal abusers don't address the cruelty but can only attack those that want to end the cruelty.

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. ~Albert Einstein

I guess I have been vegetarian too long, I didn't even know what foie gras was. now that I do it seems like a bum out.

why are all the haters and animal abusers the first to comment on such stories against animal cruelty. sickening.

that was supposed to be "are all you haters vegans?"
