Reply to comment by [deleted] in State Orders NYC To Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban, Says Ban Violates NY Agricultural Law by Gato1980

The way we treat cows, chickens, and pigs is not any better, yet there is no widespread call to ban eggs, chicken, beef, and pork.

Egg laying hens in cages have an average of 67 square inches of floor space. That’s less area than a sheet of copy paper. Where’s the outrage from the City Council?

For the record, I don’t eat foie gras nor do I care to eat it, but I’m sick of our massively hypocritical City Council thinking that they are holier than thou with these laws.

There should be. The only difference is that people would push back harder against that than they do against foie gras.

Two things can be wrong at the same time.

I’m not talking about scale tho, the article is talking about this one particular topic. The comment I replied to is talking about industrial farmed meat. Both foi gras and industrial farmed meat are unethically produced.

No need to point out that there are other issues, yes there will always be other issues. That’s diverting from the current topic.
