Default Re: Foie Gras

Haven't had it, never will. I oppose the manner in which the animals are raised...

The feed is administered using a funnel fitted with a 20–30 cm long tube, which forces the feed into the animal's esophagus; if an auger is used, the feeding takes about 45 to 60 seconds. Modern systems usually use a tube fed by a pneumatic pump; with such a system the operation time per duck takes about 2 to 3 seconds. Thats for up to 3 pounds of feed.

Thats not to say other folk shouldn't be free to make up their own mind about it, after all, there's room or all of gods creatures, right next to the mash potatoes.

PETA should stand for People Eating Tasty Animals.
