N2  - Who cares about foie gras? As it turns out, many do. In the last decade, this French delicacy - the fattened liver of ducks or geese that have been force-fed through a tube - has been at the centre of contentious battles between animal rights activists, artisanal farmers, industry groups, politicians, chefs and foodies. In this volume, Michaela DeSoucey takes us to farms, restaurants, protests and political hearings in both the United States and France to reveal why people care so passionately about foie gras - and why we should care too
