Foie gras ban
The Chicago ban on foie gras took place on August 22nd and already caused angry responses. What should be a cause of pride, for the cruelty involved in producing it, has instead drawn so much attention that the Illinois Restaurant Association and Allen’s Café filed a lawsuit claiming that the ban violates the state constitution, supported by the Chicago Chefs for Choice and the Artisan Farmers Alliance. The reason? They are worried that this ban would cost $18 million annually in lost sales, tax revenues and tips. Never mind that the issue of cruelty is not even in question. Even a few chefs said they will serve foie gras for free and charge for the accompanying dishes.
