Foie Gras

8 months from now California will become the first state to ban the sale of foie gras. Chicago already attempted this a few years ago and quickly failed. The same state that leads the charge in fighting for peoples right to smoke whatever they please is suddenly attempting to police peoples eating habits.
If animal rights protesters were able to do so, I imagine they'd force veganism upon all of us. The PETA nutjobs really irk me, and I have so little respect for the organization as a whole. They rely solely on shock-tactics and publicity stunts (see: washed-up pamela anderson naked to protest fur). I don't even eat foie gras all that often, as it's expensive, but I am fond of it. How could I not be? It's delicious.
I watched a video on TED a few months back in which a 'more ethical' method of obtaining foie gras was discussed but, from what I've read, even the 'unethical' foie gras farms still host ducks that exhibit the pleasant 'plz feed me more' behavior. Anyway, I'm hoping this ban on foie gras doesn't gain a foothold from which it can spread. What's next - veal? off.
What do you guys think?? |

| I'd like to force feed you until you almost explode and then cut your head off, rip your skin off, and eat your liver. |

I'm an idiot? You're posting pictures used as propaganda on sites such as 'animal liberation front' so as to suggest that all foie gras is raised under the same extreme conditions, and your previous statement regarding explosion was delusional. If you can't look at something rationally and objectively you have no place in such a debate. So off, seriously.
Nearly 95% of animals raised in the US are raised for food production. Many millions are used in testing. Billions of chickens are raised on factory farms in horrendous conditions but I'm sure eating chicken is alright by you. I bet you've got a bag of frozen chicken in your freezer right now, a bag from which you occasionally grab a thigh, slather it in some greasy substance, roast it, and then shove it into your gaping maw as you post idiotic comments like the ones above.
These birds don't nearly 'explode'. If you've ever read into the subject you'd recognize that these birds are accustomed to over-eating. |

| When I've bought Foie Gras here in California at specialty stores I've always known exactly where it's come from. It's certainly not sourced from massive industrial farms. |
