California is now able to serve this dish
But wait, there is a grip.
In January 2019, theAmerican Supreme Court has allowed the state of California to prohibit the service of foie gras in restaurants. However, from yesterday, the Californians would again be allowed to engage in the rich aperitif under one condition: it must be purchased from a seller out of the state, and then transported to the state. ofThird party delivery service.
Foie gras, which means that the foie gras in French has a story of being prohibited in the state, with the first prohibitionFrom 2004. Which makes the dish controversial, it is the way it is produced. Ducks and geese are fed for strength with grains via a tube causing theirFOIES TO INFLATEThat's why many believe that French delicacy is contrary to ethics to eat. In some cases, birds become so uncomfortable they are starting to tear their feathers or even caressing their companions in the surrounding cages. Now, can you see why the production of this dish has beenbanned in some parts of the United States. At one point in the last 20 years?
On July 14, the US District Judge Stephen V. Wilson ruled that the sale of foie gras bought from another state and brought in California through a delivery service does not violate the law that was adopted. 'last year.
"It is not possible to distinguish between the foie gras bought out of the state and transported to California by the buyer and the one delivered by a third party", Wilsonwrote.
If the foie gras should be legal to produce is a delicate subject and that animal rights activists in the big cities have voted against years.In ChicagoThe Municipal Council has banned the production and sale of the luxury box in 2006, only for it to be repealed in 2008. Starting from 2022, the city of New York will prohibit restaurants and markers sell the dish.
Remember that foie gras has been ignored for the first time in California in 2004, but it was not until 2015, when the same judge considered that the law of the State is confronted with the law on the Inspection of poultry products promulgated by the federal government. At that time, the dish could be served but not produced in a state, which is similar (if not almost identical) to the decision he tried yesterday.
So the Californians, the rich delicacy will probably be back onRestaurant Menus In the coming weeks, but do you think the right decision was taken?
