Foie gras is an expensive food item served in some upscale restaurants. It is produced by force-feeding geese and ducks large quantities of food, causing the animals’ livers to swell up to twelve times their normal size. A long metal pipe is inserted into the animal’s esophagus several times a day. Often, this process causes the animals’ internal organs to rupture. Several European countries currently prohibit this practice as cruel. Do you agree or disagree that force-feeding geese and ducks to produce foie gras should be banned by law in the United States?

I would be curious to know how many people have tasted foie gras, how many people have been to a foie gras farm, and how many have been to a pig or cow farm. It’s easy to ban the thing you don’t eat, while ignoring cruelty to that which you do.
