Foie gras means, in English, literally, fatty (foie) liver (gras), and describes the liver of a goose or duck intensively fed (and legally, in France and some other countries, force-fed) with corn in order to produce an enlarged liver with a particularly delicate flavor and texture.

It is prepared from fatty liver (disease) of ducks and birds that filled with harmful fats that lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke in human. Foie gras can cause serious diseases: 1-Because of animals suffer, a lot of toxins (oxidants) are released in their body and by eating meat or tissues of suffered animal these toxins can be transmitted to human body and consequently lead to cancer. 2-these birds are neglected and infected and their liver is filled with harmful fats that lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke in human.

So as a customer please do not select the foie gras in the menu of restaurants.
