I still say they should just quit force feeding and make the foie gras a
lot more expensive...

That's why I say don't do it. It would make for much less "product"
since the livers would be smaller... and pate would go way up in
price. That's fine, those who want it can pay that price.

Ban the force feeding, not the foie gras.
That would take it back to a more reasonable level with other animals
we eat and other things we do to them...
Which is not good, I agree.

The whole thing is just disgusting! Disgusting that they would force feed the animals, and disgusting that people actually eat a fattened liver. Oh, how gross!

I don't even like cow or chicken livers, no way in hell I'm gonna touch a duck's liver either.
And I agree it's cruel to force feed an animal just so you can have a nice fattened liver.
