Now just fence it in and put up some razorwire and we can all be happy.

Or, jeeez, Dave, you could just not shop there.

At any rate, I'm stoked.

I wonder if Food Fight! has lifted their ban on my shopping there, yet?

Scott: I was thinking more in terms of smell containment. If vegans are so freaking healthy, how come they always stink?

Going to People's is like a firsthand view of the Second Battle of Ypres.

Woohoo! Take that Dennis Miller!

Riiiight, because those fat-asses crammed into the Claim Jumper booth who sweat while they eat don't stink.

i looooove foie gras

I love tasty hippie meat. All that soy, tofu and vegetables are like a human stew. Mmmmm.

foie gras, yeah i hate animals too. they should be tortured wtf

I've been a vegetarian for 13 years or so and have never attempted to convert anybody to my way of thinking (live and let live, maaaaaan) - but I'm always astonished by the casual attitude people have toward the production of foie gras. The level of cruelty involved with producing it is a stark reminder of how disconnected we have all become with regards to how our food makes it onto our plates.

Is that cake made of foie gras?

Foie ignorance is my favorite kind of ignorance. I'd rather be a duck raised for foie than a cow bred for Big Macs. Just because we've been doing it for 4500 years doesn't mean we shouldn't stop because some white kid with dreadlocks feels sad.

Oh well, I guess you never have to worry about overeducation when you have Pamela Anderson as your spokesperson. Talk about experience with getting things rammed down your throat! Zing!

Count me in. See you guys in November.

Sorry, I don't have any zippy one liners or anything negative to say.

"Just because we've been doing it for 4500 years doesn't mean we shouldn't stop because some white kid with dreadlocks feels sad."

Okay, that was pretty good.

"...doesn't mean we shouldn't stop..."

Good? Really?

What astonishes me is the casual hatred people have for people whose lifestyles differ from their own. And then I catch myself and say, Oh, yeah, that's human nature. Lovely species, that homo sapiens.

I'm with William Burroughs -- I'd gladly get rid of a whole streetful of people to save one flying lemur. Although I don't think Burroughs was a vegetarian....

What astonishes me is that people have their heads so far up their own asses that they can no longer differentiate between hatred and a bit of banter. A lovely juxtaposition of the emo kid hating hate, then wishing he could nuke a street full of people to save a monkey.

Godwin's Law dictates I inform you that the Nazis had pieces of flair they made the Jews wear.

Exactly, Dave. I'm not bantering: I hate vegans.

"A bit of banter." I see. Thanks for clarifying that.

Nutshell helped me, Matt. It may help you too.

I'd even brag about using Earth Balance except I have 5 lbs of Rogue Creamery's butter stashed in my freezer.

The haters can suck it and so can you unconscientious, consumers. I can't wait for Food Front to be in my neighborhood.

um, beer batter, it's not Food Front (coop grocery in NW Portland), it's Food Fight (vegan-only specialty store in SE on Division). Just FYI.

yea, foie gras has been around forever. i mean, the romans started eating it right? or was it egyptians? either way, ducks and geese overeat before migrating for whatever season and somebody decided that big, fatty liver might be tasty.

please direct me to photos or videos of ducks or geese in the 3 months before they are force fed, please. if my information is correct (i trust my chef), they have to live normal lives before they are given grains through a feeding tube.

i mean, who would want to hurt a 300-500 dollar bird?

p.s. seared foie gras, wrapped in prochutto, dipped in chocolate, served with white truffle, vanilla bean and fleur de sel sauce.
