With all do respect, in places like Ecuador and Asia they do not put the animal through constant state of discomfort, pain and terror before serving them. I do agree that the government should stay out of the food business, but do u actually think that the way they treat these animals is humane?

Before actually doing some research on Foie Gras, i would have typically thought that no government or any higherpower for that matter should have the right to tell you what to eat. I stilll infact believe this, but when reading how they hurt these animals i think it becomes more of an Animal Rights issue. Needless to say after seeing countless pictures of the poor ducks with huge silver feeding tubes stuffed down thier necks and reading grueling paragraph after another about them being over stuffed to the point where thier livers are ten times larger than normal. This is sick and wrong, and its people who eat things like this that allow terrible things like this to keep happening! So without a doubt BAN IT!
