In less than a year, foie gras will be banned from Californian restaurants. From an article in the food section of the HuffPost:
The consumption of foie gras is a hotly contested issue worldwide, but we can’t help but think that there are foods that are more controversial than duck liver. Foie gras is a delicacy consumed by few. Foods like feedlot beef and farmed salmon are sold on a much larger scale, so consuming them arguably has a much bigger impact not only in terms of animal rights, but also for human and environmental health.
The article also includes a slideshow to illustrate what those eight foods are.
In the interest of full disclosure and of admitting to my biases, however, I should probably add that I really like foie gras, and that I wish the French bistro around the corner from my house served it more often.
