Oregon came a step closer to bidding au revoir to foie gras after the state's Senate passed a bill to outlaw the production and sale of fattened duck and goose livers.
I have got to think that a state legislature has better things to do. I am not a big fan of the force feeding that is done on some farms for this, but it is possible to make foie gras without the force fed livers, just more expensive. Why is it necessary to ban the food, particularly since they don't raise duck or goose for this purpose in Oregon?
