Foie gras production involves sticking a tube down the goose’s throat and overfilling their stomach with a fatty concoction they would not ordinarily eat. Until their liver becomes enlarged and filled with fat.

This is not the same as sticking unlimited delicious food in a healthy animal’s face and letting them go at it.

Foie gras is purposely making an animal ill by pumping it’s stomach with poison several times per day. Then waiting until one of its organs is diseased enough to harvest.

I’m not opposed to eating animals but dont think they should be forced into illness and suffer every single day like these geese do. And I’m sure eating any organs from a sick animal is no good for you too...

It's not poison, it's food, and its liver is not diseased -- its natural capacity is exaggerated.

I wish people would get their facts straight.
