....because no one in the world eats meat without government subsidies...right.

Not a bad-faith argument. Factory farming conditions for livestock should be improved, of course, but nothing about raising animals for food or foie gras specifically is a reason to ban it.

State law typically trumps local laws. The State determines what powers are left to local governments to rule on.

They are just naive then. The only way the meat industry goes away is if demand does, it can't be legislated into extinction.

Banning it seems arbitrary when the average chicken in your grocery store was raised in worse conditions than many farms producing foie gras.

Never mind that banning things that have demand creates black markets, it won't stop the practice, or prevent it from being smuggled into the city.

Wild game that is hunted for meat would be an exception.

King George III, one of Americas greatest patriots! We need to teach both sides!

I would have thought the inaccurate part of my statement was that colors didn't exist under communism. Seemed clearly a joke to me.

I know. Still in the soviet zone and behind the iron curtain.

It is color film! No one could afford actual colors in soviet russia.

I find the lack of advertising unsettling. How the hell am I supposed to know what to buy if every surface isn't covered in signage?! That level of stress was probably why everyone was smoking.

Extra what? Who knows?

oofffff. I feel bad for that woman who is being paid to peddle that garbage.
