It all starts with a smoking ban

Dallas Blog | Caroline Walker:
“The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that local restaurateur Doug Sohn has been fined $250 for selling foie-gras-laced hot dogs at his gourmet hot dog emporium. It is the first time a violation has been ticketed since the dangerous substance -- foie gras-- was banned from Chicago menus seven months ago.”
Ed Cognoski responds:

Caroline Walker misses the point. Foie gras is not dangerous. It's banned to stop cruelty to animals. Texans should think of horse slaughter in Grand Prairie for an example closer to home. The French can't understand the outrage by Texans over that.
