You cannot prepare a tournedo rossini without proper foie, and this dish is found in many fine dinning establishments in both countries. Let us not forget foie pate. There are many people who enjoy foie gras knowing full well how it is made. The truth is many of us think it a right shame to ban the product. Perhaps we are sadists, it is something we accept. What irks me is that there are groups out there that claim a righteous stance and proclaim that we shouldn't consume foie or other animal by-products. I take no issue with someone else's decision not to consume something. However I do draw the line at someone telling me how to conduct my own life. If you do not like foie gras or feel that it is cruel the siple solution is not to eat it, and stop worrying about the choices others make. Banning foie outright is an act I will never understand, nor sanction. Take my foie away and you have taken away one of the finest ingredients in the art of cusine.

If you force-feed a geese, chance is it'll get sick and its liver will taste icky and yucky as a result. That said, very funny ad!

Regarding the "ineffectiveness" of the campaign: Gfk figures show that the sales in the month that the campaign ran were 9,4% lower than the same month the year before.

Force-feeding does not feel to them the way it would to people. The rage against foie gras is ridiculous on so many levels. These ads, though? They're hilarious. Ineffective, but funny.

The implication that consumers of foie gras are ignorant of means and source of production reveals only the foolishness of he who implicates. In fact I find this advertisement extremely funny and can only think that it would be an advertisement FOR foie gras, and furthermore I cannot believe that railways would refuse to show it. I do not support animal cruelty, I like foie gras but would be heartbroken were it taken off the shelves. But really thats quite cute! Have you considered that there might be geese out there, who like human beings, like a little S & M? No? Me either. Untill now.
