When Government Gets to big, again.

Story: "Top chefs in Chicago, known for its meat-heavy fine cooking, whipped out their knives this week to fight a restaurant ban on foie gras, the rich but controversial liver from over-fattened geese and ducks.

As some restaurateurs looked for ways to sneakily flout the prohibition by serving the famed French delicacy as a "free" garnish, even Chicago mayor Richard Daley slammed the ban as the "silliest law" the city council had ever passed. "

Shame. Its just food folks, let'em eat it. But wait, this just is. The kind hearted health nazis are giving us on

" And public health officials indicated they would not make it a priority to enforce it after it took effect Tuesday."

And thew dumbest thing about this whole saga? That the main thrust of this is to stop the torturing of ducks and geese, who are force feed to make a larger liver. However, not a single duck liver from Chicago is used in Chicago, it all comes from Canada and New York.
This is just the health nazis being petty, with detrimental effects to the rest of the world.

The next time you run into a vegetarian who's one because of animal rights, you should ask why they eat plants cuz plants are living organism too.

Thanks Raben, you do likewise.

Carey, what else do they deserve to be called? HealthCommies?

Mercy, I heard this one quote, probably Groucho Marx.
'I'm not a vegitarian because I love animals, its because I hate plants.'
