Spanish foie gras:

No humane group has yet been able to determine whether the Spanish farm is actually creating foie gras, which requires that the liver go from 70g to at least 450g--and the RSPCA and other groups doubt it can be done.

Also, no humane group has been able to determine whether the farmer's claims about kind treatment are true. And no group has been able to witness the slaughter of the animals.

The UK department store Selfridges promised to buy from that farm in March 2007, but just announced this month that it would not work out, for reasons they have not explained.

There are a lot of questions about that farm, including how the animals are slaughtered, whether they are confined and starved before they are allowed to eat (would cause them to eat more), etc.

It sounds better than foie gras, but right now it's just words, w/o anything approaching third party verification.

Katherine Hobson: Good point, and if you read the NYT article I linked to, it goes into that in more detail. For what it's worth, Barber did say in his presentation that he'd visited the farm and seen the geese, but he wasn't there long enough -- nor was his intent -- to do an inspection.

Pigs are cows now?

Did someone actually suggest pigs should be consuming whey? This must be satire. And the writer is a female too! Whey is a cheese byproduct, from cow's milk. C-O-W's milk, ya know, for baby cows. Cows do not "give" milk. Am I lactating? No, because I didn't recently give birth. Cows are forcibly impregnated in order to keep the milk supply going. You can't get cows' milk any other way. Nature has it that baby humans drink human milk, baby rats drink rat milk, and baby pigs drink.. you guessed it... pig milk! And, regardless, none of these animals want to be killed for your food, and this "earth" you mention? It does not want 16 times more resources (land, water, grain) funneled through livestock because we humans couldn't pick up the soy burgers instead of the flesh ones. This psuedo feel-good be kind to the earth article was a waste of space and undermines its readers' intelligence. Please, dig a little deeper next time?
