Albert Roux says 'non' to foie gras
Albert Roux, one of the world's most influential French chefs has spoken out against the methods used to produce foie gras, not only condemning them as inhumane, but putting forward the idea that packets should carry labels similar to cigarette health warnings, alerting would-be consumers to the plight of birds reared to make the paté.
Instead of using traditional force-feeding methods, Roux has said that geese will 'gorge themselves' naturally under the right conditions, and that this is how the product should be made. His comments have been welcomed by Compassion in World Farming, who issued their pleasure at hearing the objections to the French delicacy coming from the mouth of a French chef; a rare occurrence in the fight against animal cruelty.
