You went right to the gut with your proposed ban on neon green dyed relish. I'm just kidding. I agree that we have such a detached relationship with food and that there are much worse atrocities in the food industry than those of the foie gras. As you said, "we were a country of boxed, bagged, frozen and canned swill". This lifestyle is detrimental to us as-well as the animals we blindly eat. Of all things for the city of Chicago to focus on... It actually makes no sense at all. I truly hope the growth in things like urban farmer's market, organic foods and more chefs opening up their experiences with food through blogs and tv shows will help push this country into a real realistic relation with their foods.
