Actually it's a pretty sick event, where people get to eat animals that have been exploited for the mere taste of their flesh.
'Taste of Edinburgh – 29 May - 1 June
Taste of Leeds – 5-8 June
Taste of London – 19-22 June
Taste of Bath – 3-6 July
Taste of Birmingham – 10-13 July
Taste Festivals Ireland
Taste of Dublin – 12-15 June
Taste of Cork – 27-29 June'
The Leeds, London and Birmingham events will all be supporting and promoting the trade in foie gras. They will be showcasing the extreme lengths they are willing to pursue in animal cruelty to provide their taste sensations.

There must be a clear cultural distinction in activism between coherent revolutionary politics and simplistic ethical essentialism.

What people fail to understand is that the structures that force people to be exploited also act with a greater intensity against those that are not human.
If you wish to promote an agenda of responsibility it must reasonably contain a consideration of all animals and the environment. Though there is little literature about in regard to how animal rights can support revolutionary change, anyone taking the time to look into it would see that it is clearly the case. For a recent exposition : Making a Killing, by Bob Torres' isn't bad.
Unfortunately people seem to get confused when bringing too many issues to the fore, many liberal and self proclaimed anarchists for instance.
