    Foie gras makes me sad. It’s usually cruel, produced by force-feeding animals. There are ways to make it humanely but they are rarely carried out.

    But damn is it good. I don’t eat it anymore, but I have had it a couple of times and loved it.

      Lol as opposed to… Any other type of meat? I don’t think any meat where they are raised to be shot in the head in an assembly line is “cruelty free” I used to work for a fairly well known dairy company. Guess what happens to baby boy cows.

      You just happen to be aware of foi gras and how they are raised/slaughtered.

        The world isn’t black and white, there are spectra. I’m not saying meat isn’t cruel, just that some forms of meat are more cruel than others.

        FWIW, I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I have made an effort to reduce my meat consumption.
