(US) Could CA's Foie Gras Ban Go National?

[AnimalConcerns.org]

Some famous California chefs have taken to the street, or rather the
kitchen, to fight the state's upcoming foie gras ban.

Several high-profile chefs have held foie gras events at their
restaurants, CBS Los Angeles reports. They showcased special menus
featuring the soon-to-be-outlawed ingredient. However, animal rights
activists haven't found their actions amusing. Many have fought back
by protesting outside some of the restaurants.

The law banning foie gras goes into effect on July 1 in California.
But could it also be the spark needed to set off a national trend?

It might be. Though California was the first state to ban foie gras
back in 2004, its history with the controversial ingredient goes back
even further. The state's former governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
signed the latest bill into law following intense lobbying from animal
activists. Foie gras itself has been a point of much contention in the
food world.
