And here's the Bourdain episode on foie gras farming.

I'm all for healthy discourse around the ethics of food -- not just foie gras, but all of it.

If you're going to be concerned about foie gras, be concerned about the way all of your food is being raised and handled.

There's plenty of room to argue on both sides whether all force-feeding is bad or whether some farms do a better job at being humane than others.

That said, the new laws that go into effect on July 1 are a big deal here in CA and as such, there are foie gras farewell dinners and post-ban foie gras speakeasies being planned all over town. I love food, love foie gras, and plan to take in as much of this part of SF food culture before it changes.
