California has to be the most ridiculous of our states. is it because so many people have lots of money and too much free time? The 99% there are truly suffering. Town after town is going bankrupt essentially shutting down essential services. There are several sub-layers of government that mimic Federal departments and go a long way to making sure their sinecure jobs pay good benefits forever. As near as I can figure, none of these department people are elected. It seems they are appointed by ... guess who .. the elected ones. But if the elected one goes out of favor, the unemployable brother-in-law still has his job at the California EPA.
This gets me to my point. Effective July 1, the sale of Foie Gras is prohibited in California.
The commerce in any foodstuff should be legal. Yes some countries mistreat their farm animals to supply this delicacy, but they are just that ... farm animals. And Foie Gras does not require dramatic force feeding (the French call this gavage). In fact, some wild ducks have been shot that were lucky enough to get into rice fields or some other food rich area .. they develop the extra fat layers that make a a duck's liver make the magical change from normal to distended.
Back to California, what are they going to ban next? Big Macs?
