Kept in darkness and force-fed
In French Foie Gras literally means fatty liver. Starting as early as a few months old, the young Ducks are kept in dark sheds and force-fed with corn.
In a matter of few weeks, the Ducks become heavily overweight with their livers expanding up to 10 times their normal size. Due to the rapid expansion of the liver, the other organs are exposed to extreme pressure.
Foie Gras may be a delicacy, but just imagine if you were the one being force-fed.
You can do something: Stop eating Foie Gras.
…but if you’re addicted, just try to limit it.
