Foie Gras ban in California?!
Answers: So I hear the governator is banning foie gras in california starting in 2012. Do they even sell these in the markets? Where else can you get this aside from online.
It was banned in Chicago in 2006- from restaurants supermarkets or vendors selling it, because people feel it is inhumane to force feed the birds to produce such a fatty liver. California has banned the practice of force feeding the birds. You can buy it in many upscale grocery stores such as Dean and Deluca.
umm dunno
Fine dining restaurants is where you will find foie gras. You can also have a meat market special order it for you.
I've seen it in many supermarkets.
I'm not sure it actually *is* cruel, since geese naturally gorge on food prior to migrating and get enlarged livers when they store the energy to fly thousands of miles; the feeding practice just enhances that.
That said, personally I don't like it anyway.
