Amazing, a system which encourages making products for the cheapest possible amount and selling them for the highest possible results in a system which is as unethical as it is uncaring.

Food animals are almost all treated poorly.  Is foie gras that much worse than standing in a pool of shit with little room to move for your whole life?  That is how many cows live.

You can try to be a vegetarian, but seeing as how we completely disregard the comfort of food animals, I am not sure why Foie Gras in particular should be singled out.  Our food system is disgusting and morally repugnant.  But I see Foie Gras as just a drop in the ocean.

So, besides being a company that sells food products, what does Amazon have to do with Foie Gras?  Many supermarkets also sell it...  Specialty food stores... restaurants... 

Why are you picking on Amazon in particular?

Seriously. You guys should be bitching about Michelin chefs, not Amazon.

How Chefs are Rated

All Michelin ratings are made by professionally trained experts who remain anonymous. According to Michelin, it’s “inspectors” revisit the 4,000 restaurants it reviews in France every 18 months; they revisit all other starred restaurants once a year.

We could all try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism#Vegetarianism

Quote
Jains practice strict vegetarianism. The practice of vegetarianism is instrumental for the practice of non-violence and peaceful co-operative co-existence. Basic non-violence principles can be performed depending on one's capability and specific situation in terms of meeting one's life's demands and expectations. Jainism acknowledges that it is impossible to discharge one's duties without some degree of himsa/violence, but encourages to minimise as much as possible. Jains are strictly forbidden to use any leather or silk products since they are derived by killing of animals. Jains are prohibited from consuming root vegetables such as potatoes, garlic, onions, carrots, radishes, cassava, sweet potatoes, turnips, etc., as the plant needed to be killed in the process of accessing these prior to their end of life cycle. In addition, the root vegetables interact with soil and therefore contain far more micro-organisms than other vegetables. Also, the root vegetables themselves are composed of infinite smaller organisms, hence, consuming these vegetables would mean killing all those organisms as well. However, they consume rhizomes such as dried turmeric and dried ginger. Eggplants, pumpkins, etc. are also not consumed by some Jains owing to the large number of seeds in the vegetable, as a seed is a form of life. However, tomatoes are consumed normally as its seeds are difficult to be killed (even at high temperatures/pressures). Jains are also not supposed to consume food left overnight because of contamination by microbes. Most Jain recipes substitute potato with plantain.

Anyone who thinks anything that isn't currently in an autoclave is sterile is a simpleton. Fucking plantains? Sterile? I would say that it is more cruel to consume a fruit that has been cultivated so long that it can no longer reproduce sexually. If I ever met someone who practiced that level of being a pansy-ass vegan, I would be hard pressed not to drop a cinderblock on their head while they slept.

Also, how do they not die of malnourishment?

Here's one instance where my conscience says, "how horrible," but I tell my conscience to STFU. Grin
