Ramming it Down Their Throats

It is timely to note that NY chefs have reportedly banned the use of foie gras (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/03/foie-gras-pressure-grows-british-chefs-new-york-ban). This is on the basis of demonstrations against animal cruelty, as the liver pate is produced by stuffing living geese with grain (in some cases, the birds are repeatedly force-fed by having the material blown down their gullets). It will be interesting to see which other parts of the world adopt this action.
