Of all the celebrity chefs who’ve warmed up to the plant-based lifestyle, Jacques Pepin is still not one of them.
The master of French cuisine recently spoke with Bay Area Bites when he touched on the subject of California’s foie gras ban that goes into effect July 2012 and Paula Deen‘s grease fest southern cooking.
“They have no idea what they are talking about. And the worst is that they are righteous,” Jacques said of officials who created a ban that makes it illegal to “force-feed a bird with the intent of enlarging the animal’s liver “beyond normal size” or to “hire a third party to do so” and suggested similar measures to improve animal welfare standards like those in chicken slaughter were also ridiculous.
