Description
Voters in Washington, DC, and Denver, Colorado could soon ban one of the world’s most controversial foods: foie gras. French for “fatty liver,” many chefs and fine diners revere foie gras as a delicacy. But animal activists allege it’s particularly cruel, as it’s made by force-feeding ducks with a metal tube during the final weeks of their lives. If these two US cities do phase out foie gras sales, they’d join California, Brazil, and a number of US cities, including Pittsburgh, Portland, Oregon, and New York City.
