Federal Judge Overturns California Foie Gras Ban. Force-feeding of Birds Continues

After two and a half years of being off the menu from California's most posh restaurants, foie gras is back due to a Federal Judge overturning the 2004 ban on Wednesday, deeming the law unconstitutional.

Many of California's top chefs are celebrating the decision with foie gras-based feasts at their fine dining establishments, while animal activists groups continue to abhor the decision, saying that the practice of force feeding geese in order to enlarge their livers for the delicacy is cruel.
