Foie gras, pronounced fwah-GRAH and French for "fat liver," often is served sliced and pan-seared, frequently with fruit or atop greens or a cut of steak or veal.
To fatten the liver of waterfowl, a tube is inserted into their throats twice a day and partially cooked corn is pumped down the esophagus.
Force-feeding causes them to have livers up to 10 times their normal size.
Defenders of foie gras claim the birds' anatomy is perfectly adaptable to the large liver.
California is the only state to ban foie gras, because it's governor banned it, despite opposition.

They can't force feed our fowl. Is the ALCU going to challenge this case, those bird forcefeeders have their livelihood at stake. Soon the Government will be taking our land.
