The Truth about Foie Gras?

I recently came across an article about raising ducks for foie gras in New York’s Village Voice newspaper.  If you have only considered one side of the story, here is the farmer’s version of this controversy.   The article is a bit long but makes for good reading.   “If I had seen with my own eyes that Hudson Valley produced foie gras by abusing ducks, this article would have turned out very differently.  But that just wasn’t the case.”
