Bill would have New Jersey join anti-foie gras campaignMonday, August 28, 2006Associated Press Read the full article: http://www.thnt.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060828/NEWS/60828001 Chicago recently banned foie gras sales, and Philadelphia and New York state officials have discussed outlawing production and sale of it. Joan Voss, the New Jersey Assemblywoman who introduced the legislation, did so to keep foie gras facilities out of the state. However, she said she has no plans to outlaw foie gras sales. In response, one reportedly puzzled restaurateur said, "The definition of foie gras is a duck with a fattened liver from feeding... It's like saying you can make ice but you can't use water." Michael Ginor, owner of Hudson Valley Foie Gras, the country's largest, concurred, quipping: "There is no other way. You either produce foie gras or you don't produce foie gras." |
