I have hunted most of my life and still fish. I'm rural and understand that pork and beef does not grow on grocery store shelves and often shake my head at the animal rights crowd. I am a meat eater!
But apparently California banned force feeding geese and ducks in order to make a snobby dish I cannot pronounce but have long heard of. If memory serves, they give the bird a fatty liver to make the liver taste better.
Anyway, it's ridiculous and always has been, I quit eating Veal for similar reasons.
When a true farmer raises an animal for food it does not involve the equivalent of torture or a miserable existence.
Apparently, California banned the practice over a decade ago and the "farmers" can't seem to get over it. Their third challenge was declined by state SC.
What do you think?
