Foie gras is an excellent meal together with toast and a fine Sauterne wine .
But, you are right to be against the cruel way some geese are fed. The
naturally raised geese have a much tastier foie, but one has to ask for it !

ban cruel methods used to produce foie gras
Make a difference today.
The Michigan Legislature is considering a bill that would ban foie gras that
has been produced in an inhumane manner.
Dear Nicole,
Michigan House Rep. Fred Miller has introduced legislation to prohibit the
inhumane practice of force-feeding birds and to ban the buying or selling of
foie gras when it has been produced in this inhumane manner.
In producing some foie gras, ducks and geese are confined to small pens, and
have metal pipes shoved down their throats as handlers pour in cups of food
twice a day. This inhumane process causes a diseased liver condition called
"hepatic lipidosis," in which the liver swells to approximately 10 times its
normal size. Many ducks and geese do not even make it to slaughter, but die
from ruptured throats or bacterial infections, or suffocate on their own
vomit.
The bill would not ban foie gras -- it would instead ban the selling or
buying of foie gras made in this inhumane manner.
American Humane strongly supports this bill. Let your representative know
this inhumane treatment must not continue --
support
House Bill 4871 today!
