LA Times: Chefs react angrily as federal appeals court upholds California ban on foie gras

The interviewed chefs apparently don't acknowledge the animal welfare question at all. It's all about cooking "for their customers".

In some ways it might be easier to make the case for banning these unhealthy foods based on animal welfare arguments than on the health arguments. Maybe this backdoor approach will eventually result in healthier Americans? Well, maybe not since those vegan Cheetos are always available. Cheetos don't feel any pain.

I'm really happy about this ruling. One change at a time. I also voted for the change in how laying hens must be treated (to be able to turn around in their cages, etc.) for anyone to sell eggs in CA. The price initially skyrocketed for eggs, then came down as egg producers changed their ways in order to keep the lucrative CA market.

At least it's a move forward. That's always good news.
