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:

    I remember watching a documentary on foie gras and the one farm that would want cameras on their premises where foie gras can be produced (in France of course :france-cool:) the farmer tried to say that the ducks actually love getting force fed through a tube. What followed after they said that was a harrowing shot of ducks trying to run as far away from the farmer with the feed tube as possible, but they were penned in of course.

    So there you have it, the best farm for foie gras. Knowing that is as good as it gets alledgedly for producing it, that only made me more against it.
