Watch the one on 'super foods' - it might be of interest to you.

Thanks, Lucretia. I've downloaded it (had to pretend I was Canadian),
but I haven't watched it yet.

Even if it's delicious, it's a food I won't eat on principle because

I watched it and it's good that they burst those marketing bubbles. I
think the real superfoods are old school foods like red cabbage, oats
(without added sugar) etc. They also mentioned flax seed. Basically,
we can't trust the food industry.

What annoyed me was that they had achieved their ends when they
agreeably made changes to their labels - would they have been so nice
if it was picked up before they were selling the rubbish like mad.

Yes, you'd think that health claims are checked before something's put
on the market, not only after someone complains.

I once saw an item on Dutch tv about that protein powder that body
builders and gym freaks use a lot. it's sold in big jars and expensive
(whey powder or something). The conclusion was that yoghurt has the
same effect. People are so gullible.

i have seen how they force feed geese on a commercial scale in quebec. they have a gun filled with corn. they grab the goose and put the gun in its mouth, and pull the trigger. corn is then forced down their throats.

In the future, this will be a popular way for Americans to consume their chow. They'll be able to consume their 1,500 cal/sitting in 5 seconds. A big ass soft drink will follow to wash down all the clingy soft bits that stick. This will be done manually. I mean, we're not animals here, are we? :)

i once caught my grand aunt force feeding a duck. i opened a door beside her chicken coop. it was a separate room. she sat in there with a duck on her lap, and was forcing corn down its throat. i thought it was odd. little did i know how it improved the flavour and weight not only of the liver, but the whole duck in general.

Well, granny knows best. Some folks might call it abuse but my guess is that most animals would love to be abused in such a way.

well slaughtering animals could also be considered abuse. so could keeping them pastured up. our/hers ducks and geese were always pastured, but kept behind a wire. they were fairly free. until d day.

The ONLY THING to do with an 'empty' can of ReddiWhip is take the last huff of N20!

We used to have a parakeet that would shove food down our cockatiel's gullet. It was so cute to see that little bird mothering that big bird. There's worse things you could do to a bird.

You make it sound like a bad thing. I read an article some time ago
about it and it claimed that the procedure is not particularly upsetting
to the birds. Sure they get ornery and resist being constrained, but
geese are pretty feisty critters and would not want to be constrained
for any reason.

That being said, I am not particularly averse to the concept of force
feeding to produce fatty livers, but I not interested in eating pate
foie gras. I am not into fatty foods.

Popeye is *always* proud of himself. He don't like yoose asians or
Hawaiians. The only furriners he likes is mexicans. Even if they have
tiny c-cup titties, they are the cat's meow for the little sailor.
