Science is too serious not to be taken with a smile. The chronicle of Frederick Lewino, journalist Point. I love the show Top chef airs Monday night on M6. Each week, young chefs compete in culinary test promising. The producers of the show does not lack imagination to concoct original prints with original products. Last Monday, no sooner had I turned off my TV after the removal of David, prof kitchen, the phone rings. This is my friend Julie, large environmental activist before the Lord, a specialist oceans. "It's outrageous. It's horrible. Have you seen the trailer for the next show?" No. This time, she's still able to find revolting? Fuse response: "We see the candidate Fanny killing clubbed to a live eel for cooking. It is a rare cruelty. And did not you recently wrote that the eel is a species in rapid decline? Get Moving! " Damn, she managed to mess up my program! I walk around the site of M6. Indeed, the scene is cruel, especially seeing the chief juror Ghislaine Arabian laugh heartily at this sad spectacle. That they would come to cut me appetite! Especially since the numbers of this species are plummeting 90% over the last thirty years, mainly because of the rush on elvers (baby eels) that are subject to heavy poaching. See my paper of December 20, 2010. Quite a faux pas for the producers of Top chef. So I pick up my phone to call the Foundation Brigitte Bardot. With sadistic pleasure, I whisper: "Have you seen the trailer for the next top chef?" Half an hour later, I e-mail rabid BB: "With Top Chef, M6 redid the shot Maite who enjoyed killing of live eels and shellfish boil. The French cuisine is like the slaughterhouses, an absolute horror when the animal is no longer a sentient being, but just one ingredient, it disgusts me and makes me deeply ashamed. "I ressere the same dish to IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare): "By putting wildlife non-expert hands, the show Top chef ignores ethics for public entertainment, what IFAW condemns." But I do 'm still not satisfied, I contacted the international organization that oversees the Traffic wildlife trade, particularly that of eels and elvers. His reports led the Union EU to ban the export of this species to a third country. The answer comes from the international office based in London: "Consumers should be warned that European eels are in a critical situation for the reason that they are close to extinction. Given the perilous state of the European eel, the most responsible approach would be to keep it out of plates, "said Richard Thomas, spokesman for the organization. In fact Julie, it seems that soon will offer its top leader candidates to prepare the whale. Do you like it?
