| Animal Rights Nuts Try to Ban Goose Liver |

| Foie gras flap spreads -- bill would ban duck dish But haute cuisine restaurateurs say proposal goes too far A proposal by a powerful Bay Area lawmaker could make California the first state to ban the production and sale of foie gras -- a move that would wipe the controversial delicacy from menus throughout this food-savvy state. The Nanny-State Perserveres . . . The legislation -- which Burton predicts will pass easily in the Senate but faces an uncertain fate in the Assembly -- is seen by backers as a major step in reaching a long-sought goal of eliminating domestic foie gras production altogether. New York is the only other state in which foie gras is made at large farms, and a bill to ban its manufacture has been introduced there. Well, I like to go to Alpine Village in Torrance. Pate is served with bread at the restaurant, and is sold, in bulk at the market there. This law is BS. What's worse, then we'd have to import it from FRANCE? Are you s**t*i*g me? |

| #5 Sounds goofy, but "when they came for the goose liver, I did nothing..." Pretty soon it'll be steaks and cheeseburgers. Then there'll be war. |

| #4 There are certain things that even the SF libs won't stand for, and that is screwing around with their menus. SF is a GREAT food city and this legislation just goes too far. You do NOT mess with the bigshot restaruant owners and patrons in SF. |

| #3 When the geese start paying their f*cking taxes, then you may start legislating for them. |

| #2 Foie gras should be banned, I think.(because they force feed to enlarge the liver, which is pretty cruel in my book, not to mention I don't want to eat a diseased liver.) |
