Is foie gras the liver of a goose?
Goose liver is the liver of a goose.

Although foie gras is delicious, the feeding process of forced feeding is somewhat cruel. French scientists have recently discovered that intestinal flora can naturally fatten foie gras, so that people can enjoy this delicious food with peace of mind without moral torture.

Remy Baseline, a scientist at the University of paul sabatier-Toulouse III, found that before geese began to migrate, a special intestinal flora in geese could fatten goose liver. He said that as long as domestic geese are allowed to eat this flora, they can fatten foie gras even if they are not forced to feed.

In order to meet the energy demand of long-distance flight, the physiological mechanism of geese will fatten foie gras before migration. However, it is difficult to meet the market demand only by wild foie gras, so there is a method of forcing domestic geese to produce foie gras. The weight of foie gras fattened by this method can reach 850 grams per pair.
