Great to see King Charles flexing his royal muscles and taking Foie grass off the menu at all royal residences.
I am sure state banquets will survive without it.
Slightly on topic While I still eat meat I have drastically reduced my intake and seek out produce that has been ethically farmed. As I get older I seem to get more crunchy granola.
TMI
As to King Charles, it sounds like virtue signaling. I could care less what is served at meals to other people.
Never had it. Wouldn’t eat it either.
Just kill and eat the animals. Don’t torture them first to get some special taste out of their bodies.
People that eat that stuff increase demand and thus increase this inhuman treatment of animals. I dont necessarily support laws from central governments to stop the practice but I do support social pressure to stop the practice.
My company is developing lab grown foie gras. Grown from cultures. Cruelty free.
There are forms of foie gras on the market that are grown using techniques that trick the bird into thinking it is fattening up for migration and thus the bird eats freely, no force feeding.
However the quality of those products are not yet up to traditional foie gras.
No foie gras after the fox hunts. Cool.
I have had foie gras, I can take it or leave it.
I refuse to give up either my veal or capon. 
Fox hunting is illegal in the UK but its easy to get round it.
It’s basically liverwurst.
The so-called animal rights activists have cried wolf so many times their words are meaningless. But the loss of Foie gras at royal dinners is not a major event so whatever.
Did he also take roast duck and geese off the table. If not, what happened to their livers?
He took Foie gras off the menu because of the cruelty involved for that so called delicacy.
I’m not impressed.
As long as no one suggests I stop eating beef I’m all for it. My diet is probably 90% red meat. That’s not going to change until my dirt nap.
I’m not sure that force feeding a duck is cruel.
Lots of things in life are hard and uncomfortable
100 days of indigestion doesn’t strike me as being cruel.
Same!
Meanwhile in Connecticut;
What I find most disturbing of all is the offer of tasty vegan ham. I don’t hunt, nor will I kill animals, but I eat them because someone else does it for me. I have no problem if their request is temporary. Just don’t threaten me with whatever vegan ham happens to be. Use that stuff for skeet targeting.
Vegan ham LOL. I did a Little Rascals double take when I saw that in such a context.
I am against purchasing and / or eating veal because of the sadddness of the calfs that are separated from their mothers to live in solitude for slaughter. If your company can produce plant based products that imitate the quality and taste of veal that is great. I am fond of plant based burgers.
Let’s Go PETA.
