<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, it is true that Chicago has (for the reasons
Ms. Lund has enumerated) banned foie gras, because of the disgusting and
inhumane way the birds are force-fed to create these inflated livers.
Chicago has not banned duck liver, only foie gras.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And as for the reason, it's all a question of
values, as the Republicans say every year when they try to amend the US
Constitution to end the non-existant problem of people burning US
flags.</FONT></DIV>

<P>This is absurd. The city of Chicago has taken the time to ban
duck liver?? - Meanwhile the inner city runs rampant with crime, poverty and
drugs. Odd really.<BR><BR></P></DIV>

debated and debated about whether to post this or not, but I'd
hate<BR>>for an unsuspecting person to go to West of Paris only to be
horrified.<BR>><BR>>I was deeply disappointed to see that West of
Paris will be selling
foie<BR>>gras:<BR>>http://www.westofparis.com/dinner_menu.html<BR>>For
that reason alone, I will refuse to patronize the business, no
matter<BR>>how delicious other menu items look or sound -- it's a matter
of ethics for<BR>>me.<BR>><BR>>The process used to make foie gras
is animal cruelty, pure and simple :-(((<BR>>Fifteen nations
(including the UK, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,<BR>>Germany,
Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, and Israel
--<BR>>formerly the fourth largest producer in the world) have banned
force-feeding<BR>>birds for foie gras production. The City of
Chicago has banned the sale of<BR>>foie gras, and Philadelphia is likely
to follow. Beginning 2012, the<BR>>production and sale of foie
gras from force-fed birds will be banned in the<BR>>State of
California.<BR>><BR>>I won't go into the horrifying and graphic
details of how foie gras is<BR>>produced, but for those who want to learn
more, you can check
out:<BR>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras<BR>>You can also
Google it, but WARNING: there's a lot of deeply
disturbing<BR>>(although accurate) information and photos you'll
find.<BR>><BR>>Very disappointing that foie gras will be sold in *any*
Moscow restaurant<BR>>:-(((<BR>><BR>><BR>>JMNSHO,<BR>>Saundra
