California May Once Again Look to Ban Sales of Foie Gras

If you're a Californian who loves foie gras you might want to stock up. California's Attorney General, Kamala Harris, is planning to appeal the reversal of a ban on the sale of foie gras in California. The ban took effect in 2012, but was recently reversed by a federal court. 'The decision was based on the simple fact that, in the field of meat and poultry, federal law is supreme. California does not have the right to ban wholesome, USDA-approved poultry products, whether it's foie gras or fried chicken,' said a statement released by attorney Michael Tenenbaum. Animal rights groups had called on Harris to appeal.
