Apparently 'foie gras' ("fatty liver" in french) is banned in California. Okay, so people can't have fat livers?...is that what I'm referring too? Not exactly, for human's at least. Apparently some people force-feed ducks, corn—by shoving a tube down their throat—causing them to eat way more than they ordinarily would. On one hand, I disagree with the ban; I mean, don't we kind of do the same thing to ourselves? (we're all a bunch of overeating lard-asses). That said, on the other hand, this seems incredibly harsh on the animals—on humans it would be considered a form of torture—albeit I suppose killing the animals is harsh too. I love eating meat, but my hope is that the meat is harvested (so much better of a term than 'slaughter') as painlessly as possible.
Anyways, recently a judge named Stephen V. Wilson struck down a group's push to remove the ban. The full story is here (click me). Tell em' Roger sent ya.
