Foie gras is surprisingly low in bad fats and high in good fats. Many studies conducted by well-known and respected authorities have proven foie gras is as healthful as any other meat, although moderation is the key. We know that France consumes the largest portion of the world’s foie gras production; yet, there are fewer cardio-vascular diseases in France than in the USA, and the life expectancy is slightly higher in France. So, is it foie gras, the cheese or the wine? Kittin, moderation is the key to almost any kind of consumption. I don't care if people eat foie gras. I've tried it, and it was okay. I just didn't see what the attraction was, though. As far as caviar, bleeech! It tastes like fishy salt. But I don't care what people eat. It's perfectly acceptable to enjoy a greasy, double-bacon cheeseburger on occasion. But if you eat them for lunch and dinner 5 days out of the week, prepare to become a disgusting, fat slug. I think most people are aware of that. But I am not going to walk up to a fat man and yank the burger from his hand. I'm not going to yank the bottle out of a drunk's hand. It's not my business or yours. As far as the life expectancy comparisons, I couldn't tell you why. I've read the same reports. I've heard it's because of wine consumption, American's longer working hours, lifestyle differences, etc. We don't live as long as the Japanese either, and there are numerous theories on to why that is. quote:
Happy belated B'day, by the way Leo boy. Thank you very kindly, Kittin.
