Found out what foie gras was

Posted by Deneb on April 19, 2009, at 1:57:25

Anyways, I found out what foie gras is and I am horrified, not because it is fatty goose liver, but because of the way they get the fatty goose liver - force feeding.

I am not a vegetarian, and I eat meat, but I draw the line at such practices. I think I will skip the foie gras in SF.

Horrified Deneb. Poor geese.

When I was growing up we were told they had their feet nailed to the floor.

This could not (surely?) be true.
We came from the country and perhaps had a tendency to spice things up, cruelty (albeit necessary) to animals being part of the game.

Hope u don't eat veal. As bad if not worse, IMO (nm) » Deneb

I've heard that. I don't eat meat so I am doubly appalled what people will put up with to have it on their tables.
