Dr. Vino Goes to the Geese

Some of you know that I have a spider-sense that tingles when writers mention foie gras, but this time Tyler at Dr. Vino made my job easy when he sent a link to his post about a visit to a French goose foie gras farm. He touches on the "unmentioned" problems with the foie gras industry, such as the handful of large corporations who keep foie gras farmers near bankruptcy by demanding lower prices and threatening to leave farmers out to dry if they don't comply. (The same practice keeps American farmers of all types in the red.)



I've visited Sonoma Foie Gras, but I'd love to tour some French farms next time I'm in that area.
