Foie Gras Ban In California
As of July 1, 2012 the production and sale of Foie Gras has been banned in California. While I don't eat Foie Gras often, I do enjoy it's decadency on occasion (most recently on my anniversary in August).
After watching the below video though, I probably won't be seeking out any Foie Gras tastings. Watch and decide for yourself.

I have never and doubt I will ever, indulge in Foie Gras. I also don't eat veal. Thanks for the video Julie, it was informative and interesting.

Kellee - glad you enjoyed...and won't be partaking in foie gras any time soon.

Compared to a feedlot, this looks like paradise. If you want to minimize animal suffering, buy grassfed beef from a cattle rancher you've visited personally. Even more, avoid industrially-produced chicken, made from birds who spend their brief lives buried to their knees in their own droppings. Foie gras is an asterisk compared to these.

Mike - Am realizing what you said myself and trying to figure out where my diet/lifestyle fits into it all.
