I didn't notice the identify of the author (Kenji) until I started reading the comments.

Kenji visits a foie farm and makes some observations...

Damn, now I have the (never far away) urge for some foie. A good article and does indeed make me feel a little better about it. I'm not entirely sure we aren't all rationalizing like crazy here, but I'm good with it :)

Great article.
I saw a show about this, but with Geese. Very intersting.

Todd, Paul,

As a non-meat-eater, I have to say that I don't find foie-gras any more "immoral" than most other meat. Foie geese are treated much better than feedlot cattle or Tyson factory chickens, for example.

I wonder how that California attempt to make genetically engineered foie gras is going?
