By 2011, California will ban the sale of foie gras made 'inhumanely'. Can it be made humanely? How will this affect your diet? What will be banned next?

Seagull foie gras---who's in with me

herring gulls are magnificent & terrible creatures. i love them but eating one seems like fair play given their violent predilections

mind you, foie gras? no worse than goose foie gras but this is still probably quite bad. i don't know enough about the process but there's something aesthetically off about it. obviously this is some callow know-nothing shit from me here and the french are savages

Nos oiseaux sont tous issus de notre élevage. Ils sont nés en captivité et sont élevés en volière avec le plus grand soin, sous contrôle vétérinaire strict. Ils sont engraissés grâce à une composition alimentaire à base de produits naturels qui rendent les foies naturellement tendres, salés, et savoureux.
Le gavage se fait naturellement, sans intervention humaine ni mauvais traitement envers l’oiseau.

they're trying to reassure us here. the only word i had to look up is 'gavage' - so these gulls apparently eat the stuff down of their own volition? hmm

well, some cocaine is sprinkled on it, just a little bit

I found that link in this article about eating seagulls because there are so many of them around here and I thought that surely if they were edible, the French would be eating them; et voilà.
