007 gets Harvey Nicks to ban foie gras from restaurant menus

As 007 he was licensed to kill, but now Roger Moore has gone all touchy-feely in getting Knightsbridge store Harvey Nichols to ban foie gras from its restaurant menus. The store made a head start in taking it off the shelves, and will take it off all restaurant menus from the New Year onwards.

Moore has joined forces with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in a campaign aimed at encouraging London's restaurants and delis to take foie gras off the shelves and scratch it from menus.

"It's absolutely splendid news that Harvey Nichols has taken my appeal and that of other caring people into consideration and will be pulling foie gras from its menus," Moore said of his triumph. "I will now be turning my attention to a little shop in Piccadilly called Fortnum & Mason which PETA informs me is resistant to appeals for compassion for cruelly force-fed birds!"
