A Little Compassion for Us, Too

Henceforth, Wolfgang Puck will only use eggs and meat from well-treated animals in his restaurants.

No more foie gras from overfed ducks. No more eggs from penned-up chickens. An admirable plan.

(Okay, he isn't going to alter his preferred method of killing lobsters by slicing them in half while they're alive, but he says his "conscience feels better," and so it should.)

Here's the problem: He has yet to address the problem of cruelty to humans.

I speak now of his breakfast pizza. It consists of scrambled eggs, bacon, two cheeses, and a drizzle of "Wolfgang's very own Ranch dressing" on a pizza crust.

Puck says of his new, benevolent, farm-animal plan, "We want a better standard for living creatures. It's as simple as that."

His ban on inhumanely produced food followed extensive protests by Farm Sanctuary, an animal rights organization, although Puck denied that he was responding to that particular campaign. Nevertheless, it's time for some well-meaning organization to initiate a campaign against inhumane breakfast pizzas. Remember, people are creatures, too.
