...and if you do, do you know what it is and where it comes from?
Ducks and geese raised for foie gras endure the pain of having a pipe shoved down their throats three times daily so that two pounds of grain can be pumped into their stomachs to produce the diseased “fatty liver” that some diners consider a delicacy. Foie gras production has been deemed cruel and inhumane by experts worldwide, including the European Union’s Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare.

Oh, and the female birds (30 million every year in France only!) are tossed alive into electric mincers at just few days old to suffer a violent and horrific death - their punishment for not being able to put on weight as quickly as males.
