Ah Foie gras…ten very small and sweet young ducks are in the barn under a warming light. They will be fed and cared for until August when they will be allowed to PIG out on warm feed and beer. End of August they will become confit and foie gras. Such is life.

C’mon, V960!

Being "allowed" to pig out on warm feed and beer is just a mite different than having a funnel shoved down your throat and then having the "warm feed and beer" being "pumped" down the funnel.

Hey, I’m no tree hugger, but I do like animals (as well as all the delicious stuff that they furnish me to eat).

But, let’s be honest . . . we can STILL enjoy our position at the TOP of the food chain WITHOUT causing unimaginable AGONY to the animals that provide us our culinary enjoyment.

Foie gras may be tasty to some of us. But the jerks who are REALLY enjoying the bloated livers are the a**h**** producers who laugh ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!
