    • @halsoy
      @halsoy Před 9 lety +13

      ***** Simple. I can explain this. The term "imposing their morals on me when it comes to food" means that the views on how creatures should be treated should not impose any restrictions on what I could and could not feed myself. That's literally what it means. Treating an animal unfairly doesn't change the fact that the food itself could be tasty and/or needed. And ones opinion on such matters should be wholly separate from the nutritious side of it.
      If you need that in clearer text:
      If someone thinks that it's morally wrong to milk a cow because milk is the life fluids of calf's, should they then be allowed to deny you drinking milk?
      How about someone thinking it's wrong to kill ducks, because they are nice birds. Should that mean you're no longer allowed to eat ducks?
      It's really not that hard.

      Ducks and geese naturally fatten their liver as they eat summertime forage to store energy in preparation for autumn and winter. They store their energy in their liver mostly instead of in the skin or subcutaneous fat like other species. And also that's the reason we can't have cow/ pig/ sheep/ chicken foie gras.

    • @pabs661
      @pabs661 Před 7 lety +17

      That's true, to a certain extent, yes they do have a mechanism of resource gathering in their liver, but this is plain abuse, this animals once they get to the "desired" state are in terminal liver failure...

      ***** Ok, now google corn fed beef steak vs grass fed beef steak. Virtually all meat animals are fattened with a high calorie diet before being slaughtered. The difference is that geese store most of their fat in their liver, and for some reason people decry that as abuse because...organs are scary and gross??? *shrug*

    When it comes to the humane treatment of anything living, I think the most important aspect is dignity. While many find the abuse of animals to be inhumane (to which I agree), the point can be taken too far where all things that are living should not be considered a food source. Life comes from death. While some struggle with this concept, it will always be true. No living thing should be treated inhumanely, but we should also pay respect to the things that we consume. We should take pleasure in the things we eat. We have a biological predisposition to enjoy certain things. I find it counter intuitive to say that there is no humane way to consume animals. It is natural for us to do so, and if done in a humane way, there should be no reason for us to not enjoy it.

    The first appearance of the foie gras in history appeared in ancient Egypte (So at least 4500 years ago), it was also produce later on in Greece and Rome. It was imported in france after the conquest of Gaul by the romans. It become popular specially in the southern (and more latinize), part of Gaul. And foie in french come from the word ficatum in latin wich is a derivate of figus (fig).

    You know, unless you're the duck. In which case you are going to be made to eat. Which is the whole problem with foie gras.
    Also, you'll note that when he talked about where they get the foie gras, he said that the bad places nail the ducks down and force feed them, whereas his place lets them roam free. He never said they didn't also force feed them.

  • @cinnastyle3260
    @cinnastyle3260 Před 8 lety +42

    This is actually a bit disingenuous, the shot of the free range geese just waddling around when the chef is denouncing how it's made in France and explaining that the foie gras he buys is much more humane. You will never achieve foie gras from a free range bird, never. All foie gras are obese livers. True, the conditions the birds are in is MUCH more humane than it is in France, but they still get force fed around three times a day. Without force feeding there simply is no foie gras. Zagat actually has a much better video on the topic discussing the lifting of the ban and an unbiased none dramatic Peta-filtered video of a foie gras farm where you see the conditions are not horrible by any stretch of the imagination, and see how the force feeding is done from the perspective of both the farm and a veterinarian.

    • @hiota45
      @hiota45 Před 7 lety +16

      Foie gras can be and is produced without force feeding. Basically, the geese or ducks (even some domestic varieties) have a natural instinct to gorge themselves in anticipation of migration and the farmer slaughters the geese after they have gorged themselves. The force feeding basically turns a seasonal product into a year-round economy-of-scale product.

      Pandora First of all: Plants are alive too. If you want to live, you're going to have to kill something else.
      Second: Humans are designed to eat meat and the severe difficulty of maintaining a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet demonstrates this.
      Thirdly: Western slaughtering standards are designed to minimize suffering, I am vehemently opposed to halal and other such barbaric practices, and I buy free-range where possible. Animals that lived a good and wholesome life produce better meat anyway.

      @beefouqueray5680 Před 8 lety +1

      I understand why you think so but geese a d ducks dont actually have a gag reflex, therefore the force feed does not actually harm them. Also, force feeding is just the accelerated process the geese go through before migrating. They would eat lots of food over a 2-3 month period of time and when they migrated, would only stop to drink water. So overall, if the geese get to run around or are in big open spaces with room to spread their wings the only "cruel" part would be the slaughter.

    • @beefouqueray5680
      @beefouqueray5680 Před 8 lety +2

      Actually, it al depends on where you buy your foie gras from. Where I come from in France there is a law that means the ducks and geese must be raised, force fed, slaughtered and turned into the final product in that same region. If you buy industrial foie gras then of course the ducks will be in horrible conditions (geese are not used in industries as they are too expensive and the flesh is too fragile to work with) So if you buy your foie gras from a good quality shop where you know they made it themselves and the geese and ducks were in good conditions, the process is not that bad. If you buy foie gras that has been made in a mass production environment then there is a very high chance the animals will have been mistreated

      to be realistic, ducks and geese neither have a swallow or gag reflex nor a strong stomach sphincter like humans. Their whole upper digestive system is pretty much just a wide open tube Form mouth to stomach. Thats why the swallow by laying their head in their neck. So a lubed up tube down their throat is usually not more than a minor irritation, if any.

We have a much more streamlined process of providing ourselves with food. This has also enabled us to put rules in place to make the killing of our Prey much more Numb for them

I liked that the ducks are free range, but I was once told that the ducks livers had to be full of fat deposits from over eating to be considered frois gras and I dont know how free range ducks could archieve that. I would love to see a video on their farm :)

      the difference is that killing and eating of sharks, whales, and dolphins is unsustainable and bad for the ecosystem while ducks are farm raised and are thus sustainable. your empathy for animals is totally subjective and is irrelevant to some, while degradation of the environment is a pressing issue that needs legal action.

  • @indianbornful
    @indianbornful Před 8 lety +19

    Foie gras does not always mean force-feeding, it can be obtained naturally from geese once a year when they prepare for migration. Geese have a natural habit of overeating during this period, hence developing a very fatty liver. By allowing the geese to be free-range and providing ample amount of food for them to forage, farmers can create the optimal environment where geese would exhibit this behaviour.
    This TEDtalk explains it very well: www.ted.com/talks/dan_barber_s_surprising_foie_gras_parable?language=en

    My take on foie gras is basically, that, like any other meat you should do your best to find humanely raised meat, and, if you're really against animal cruelty you shouldn't eat meat. But, if you're like me, and love food and cooking too much to give it up, than don't go pretending that you're super righteous about only eating super humane and sustainable meat, whichever you put it, you're killing animals in order for your happiness and nutrition, and if you can't live with that fact, that you don't deserve to eat meat. Also, whatever you choose, everyone has a right to chose on their own as well. (Including kids btw) While you may think you're right and everyone else is wrong, surprise! that's the natural human reaction. (and still doesn't give you permission to lorde your choices over everyone else)

      Listen, the nature gave us animals to eat and use for work. As long as you treat the animal with respect and kill it humanely, there is nothing wrong with that but killing it inhumanely isn't good cause you're making the animal suffer. Kill it in one piece and enjoy. You don't need to make it suffer unnecessarily for a delicacy. Try to think the suffering that the animal had to go through. I'm just sharing my thought about foie gras, nothing else.

    I agree that people should be able to eat what they want, but foie gras is produced in an especially gruesome way, so it makes sense that it was banned imo. If you're interested in the topic of cruelty-free foie gras at all, look up Dan Barbers TED talk "the Foie Gras Parable". It's very eye opening.

    • @MrCatboy
      @MrCatboy Před 7 lety +25

      Foie isn't necessarily cruel, even the gavage method of force-feeding isn't that bad when you take into account the duck's anatomy. Waterfowl evolved to swallow fish whole, and the fish are flapping and writhing the whole way down, so their esophagi are naturally tough and resilient to endure this. A metal tube being slid down a duck's throat (by a trained foie farmer) doesn't cause any more distress than they would experience out in the wild.
      The big problems with the anti-foie arguments are that 1) they exercise a misplaced empathy towards ducks, assuming that because humans would experience pain and distress from gavage feeding, waterfowl must also experience it, and 2) the cruel factory farms with horrible conditions they DO show aren't necessarily unique to foie, and can in fact be true of poorly-regulated meat industries in general.

    • @MrCatboy
      @MrCatboy Před 7 lety +13

      Steven 유럽 은 똥 Uh, okay? Please note I said "properly trained foie farmers" wouldn't cause any more distress to a duck than they would experience out in the wild during gavage feeding.
      I mean obviously there are foie farms out there that horribly mistreat their animals, but that is true about the meat industry in general: there are good farms, and there are bad farms. There's nothing *inherently* worse about gavage.
      That's my issue: People see gavage as uniquely and inherently horrible, when physiologically speaking this just isn't necessarily the case. I don't see why foie gras farming should be uniquely targeted as abhorrent when the entire meat industry is itself cruel.

Its not a few day its 12-20 days of 2-4 POUNDS of feed shoved into a tiny lil duck body many suffer from internal injuries.

    Just a small clarification : ducks are "naturally" (or genetically, as you want) able to store energy and fat in their liver to be able to migrate far away, flying for days.
    A guy on a French youtube channel did a video, to show that it is no disability for a duck to have a fat liver. 5 days after the duck stopped being fed a lot, the liver came back to its normal size, and the duck was healthy.
    So it might indeed seem barbaric to force ducks to eat a lot, but it is something that they would do if they would have to migrate
