Oh, Tempura, Oh, Morels!

The focus on foie gras needs to be on the careful regulation of production; otherwise this would be like outlawing eggs because some farmers raise hens in inhumane conditions. PETA (hardly a mainstream group, it's also against people owning pet dogs and cats and the eating of any meat) and other "pro-animal" organizations rightfully concerned about foie gras production should focus more carefully on where regulation would be effective while respecting the rights of others. No sane person is interested in supporting animal abuse, and charges to the contrary are specious. I think the grandstanding charge by Wise, who's obviously a careful and professional food writer, raises a valid question.
