YOU CAN HELP

The birds slaughtered in foie gras production suffer terribly, but unfortunately many consumers are unaware of the cruelty with which the geese and ducks are raised for this product. Please join the effort to eliminate this cruelty. Here are some ways you can help:

  • Contact restaurants and grocery stores in your area and encourage them to pledge not to serve foie gras — ask them to try FAUX GRAS instead!

  • If you live in New York City, please ask Fairway to say no to foie gras.

  • Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse continues to promote foie gras (pronounced 'fwah grah') in his recipes, in his restaurants and on his television shows.

  • Celebrity chef Todd English continues to promote foie gras in his recipes and restaurants. Additionally, he testified against the Massachusetts Foie Gras Bill, S. 498, before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources & Agriculture on September 12, 2005. Before that, he asked Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger not to sign SB 1520 which banned foie gras in California. According to The Boston Herald, the sarcastic chef asked the Governor “not to be the Terminator of foie gras.”

  • Oprah Winfrey threw a lavish ball in May 2005 for her friends as a tribute to great African-American women.
