Wolfgang Puck finally comes around

It took seven years of educating and campaigning by Farm Sanctuary (overlooked by the New York Times) and the Humane Society of the U.S., but Wolfgang Puck has finally removed foie gras, battery-hen eggs, and crated veal from his menus. This is not, of course, a real "victory" for humane eating, because all farm animals, no matter how well they are treated, end up at the same sloppily run nightmare slaughterhouses. But it is a start.

I hate to bring it up, given my history of jinxing everything I ever touched, but do you suppose that maybe we, as a 'society', might be starting to awaken, albeit it only in one small way, from our extended nightmare of denial?

A tiny bit. There is nothing slower than social evolution, and perhaps I could accept that if I didn't think that we tend to take a lot of steps backward after we have made progress.

That is good news, tempered, as you say, by the fact that billions more farm animals face torture every day.
