Leona Lewis 'Outraged' Foie Gras Was On Brit Awards Menu

February 11, 2010
Leona Lewis 'Outraged' Foie Gras Was On Brit Awards MenuStaunch vegetarian Leona Lewis has expressed her relief after foie-gras was removed from the menu at The Brit Awards.

The French delicacy is essentially the bloated liver of a force-fed duck and is widely derided by animal welfare campaignrs.

Writing on Twitter today, Leona said: “I was outraged 2 hear that the Brit Awards were planning 2 serve foie-gras at the ceremony. They hav now removed it from the menu,well done!”

She later added: "In case u didn't no, Foie-gras is duck that is forced fed in a sickening cruel process and is banned in the uk."

Leona Lewis is nominated in the British Female Solo Artist category at The Brits alongside Bat For Lashes, Florence & The Machine, Lily Allen and Pixie Lott.
