In April 2006, Chicago's City Council voted to make ours the first city in the country to prohibit the sale of foie gras, the fatty livers of geese and ducks. Many consider this food a delicacy, but animal rights advocates decry it as a product of inhumane treatment. The ordinance, which takes effect July 26, 2006, will be enforced by means of citizen complaints, per Alderman Joe Moore, who sponsored the ban.

These restaurants will quickly become BYOFG, or they'll provide FG as an amuse bouche, thereby avoiding the "sale" aspects of the ordinance. And soon the mob will move in to create a black market ...
