Chicago City Council Repeals Foie-Gras Ban

[savvysearch]

Chicago IS progressive. That's why they voted for individual choice rather than a law that dictates how what people can eat and how people should live.

[kamikrazi123]

@savvysearch totally agree but that wasn't the point of the ban. It was an issue of animal welfare (force feeding poultry). I'm looking everywhere for it but I can't find one article that even mentions animal welfare in the Chicago repeal... are people just not informed about the whole controversy of force feeding or is it irrelevant to the issue of freedom to eat what you want?

[christianzcocca]

So sad. I thought Chicago would be more progressive than this

[Freethought42]

Two words for everyone who thinks that we need more laws in this country.

FUCK YOU

[hoyle1911]

Suck it you vegan bastards. Let a free nation decide for themselves whether to eat foie gras. I eat it and love it!

[morganwalker]

Europe's two biggest consumers of foie, France and Spain, also have the longest life expectancies in the EU. Apparently, consuming foie gras has not had a serious affect on their existence (nor has smoking for that matter). You call yourself the "Foodieholic" yet you have no real food knowledge. Do us a favor. Go buy a new edition of "The Joy of Cooking." Learn something.

[AnimalMagic1]

France and Spain have the longest life expectancies in the EU?? ..You are living in cloud cuckoo land!!

[morganwalker]

Oh, so sorry. Second and third longest. I've been stuck in this cloud so long I didn't see Italy creep up the list. You jackass.

[AnimalMagic1]

Being stuck up in that cloud for so long seems to have clouded your view .... you jackass!!

[baboso66]

@morganwalker Switzerland has the highest life expectancy in Europe--and, Foie Gras production is illegal in this country.

[morganwalker]

@baboso66 But not consuptionnnnn!!

[rgvcstupid]

who gives on a shit if its bad for you, it tastes good.

nobody lives forever. and besides, animals were put here for us to eat. human ingenuity just found a way to make theme even more delicious.

[hymnofashes]

@rgvcstupid I think foie gras is a nuanced, and defensible issue- but having 'stupid' in your name doesn't help in youtube debates.

[hoyle1911]

This is awesome. Foie gras tastes fantastic and will help our economy.

[AnimalMagic1]

If the rest of America believes the same as you .. that the sale of foie gras will help the economy .. then America really is in the shit!!

SHAME ON YOU CHICAGO!!

[morganwalker]

The banning of foie gras in certain areas of America is ridiculous. Take a look at Tyson chicken and the way their plants treat their animals. The production of foie is far more humane than factory farming of other animals in this country. Foie gras is sustainable, organic and a successful compliment to the slow food movement today.

[chibanging]

hahahaha. isnt this about duck fat in foods? and all these motherfuckers are shittin on daley for this?

[JudeMurphyDublin]

Shame on Chicago for repealing the ban.

Foie gras is disgusting and should be illegal worldwide.

[just2w4tch]

no it is not, and you are retarded.

[AnimalMagic1]

Yes it is .. and before suggesting that someone is a retard .. take a closer look at yourself!!

[WatchCommander25]

Daley is a piece of shit. They need to stick a metal pipe down his throat and up his old stinky ass. Dirty politician scum!

[gaiuskaiser]

How about letting people choose what they what to eat for christ sake.I hate liberal's

[just2w4tch]

this comment is ambiguous.

[cdrosa]

This shows just how Daley treats Chicago like his personal fiefdom. That was not a vote, but a sham; it was an affront to Parliamentary Procedure.

[Blews4Blesus]

LOL I would call Joe Moore retarded, but I don't want to insult retarded people.

[just2w4tch]

pwned

[Stan0013]

Don't worry Alderman Moore. We still love you. Thank you for doing the best you could in this situation.

[doctortay]

Booyah!
