The Physiology of Foie: Why Foie Gras is Not Unethical
www.seriouseats.com
Video or photographic footage of one badly managed farm, or even a thousand badly managed farms, does not prove that the production of foie gras, as a practice, is necessarily harmful to the health or mental well-being of a duck. Foie gras production should be judged not by the worst farms, but by the best.

I haven't always been comfortable with foie gras, though I've spent a good chunk of my life working with it...Later on, as my culinary career expanded, I learned to love it.

finally comfortable with my industrialized fascistic extraction of flesh :amber-snacking:

    honest question, if the objection is force-feeding why dont they just make gras from more ducks with smaller livers?

        yeah its like they trick the duck bodies into getting ready for a migration & exaggerate the amount of fat stores the duck would usually get

        how the fuck did anyone even figure out they could do that

          They probably caught a few that were migrating and went "hey this is unusual"
