'No ones gonna force you to eat it' - the irony..

[HeyDo]

"It's almost like a animal butter" God bless America lmao

[jaf]

This guy is spot on, I don't want anyone imposing their morals on me, especially when it comes to food

[Nothing_serious]

"People should be able to eat what they like and if you don't want to eat it no one is ever going to make you". *Force feeds ducks and geese*

[losjk]

Haha ce cliché de mettre un accordéon pour symboliser la France !

[leithdaboss]

Animal butter?
Where do they think butter comes from?

[cristian-sigb]

Can we all agree that torturing ducks by force-feeding them until their organs degenerate and die is wrong? There's literally no way you can defend it. You think you have the right to eat whatever you want? No, you don't have that right. But animals? They DO have the right to NOT BE TORTURED.

[stevenarvizu]

Can someone explain how they humanely inflame the ducks liver? Like not judging just really want to know what the humane way to make fois gras is

[zxirjtc]

OH the irony of him saying "No one is going to FORCE you to eat it"

[afenismama]

Glad it's "humane" fois gras

[plottwist]

Random American:

"OHMAGAD THIS IS HORRIBLE"

**proceeds to eat hormones-filled animals that never see the day of light and have no much more than a cage the size of their body to live in**

[SirBroadsword]

"To eat meat... you have to not think about how it's prepared that much."

Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night, pal. Although personally, speaking as a meat lover myself I think that's an intensely cowardly attitude to take.

[MrHowfail]

Now show us the reaction of them watching the geese being force fed.

~ ~ *TL;DR for those of you browsing the comments section* ~ ~

People who didn't watch the video:
"Foie Gras is cruel! They force feed ducks with a tube! You monsters!"

People who watched the video reply:
"If you watched the video, you would know that the ducks here were raised humanely."

Offended vegetarians and vegans reply:
"'Humanely, ' bullshit! I judge every single person who eats duck livers. Even if chickens and cows are raised the same way or worse. So yeah, I guess I judge every single person who eats meat ever!"

Dietitians, nutritionists, and feel-good pseudoscientists:
"Digestion! Evolution! My education is better than your education!"

Normal people:
"I don't know about you, but I thought it looked pretty damn tasty."

"To eat meat, you have to not think about how it's prepared that much"

I completely disagree with this. Before I elaborate, I just have to say that I am not some psyco animal freak that is 110% vegan and any contact with animals is wrong. However, I do love animals and am turning into a vegetarian. But I'm not forcing my beliefs on anyone, and I'm not telling anyone what they can and can't eat.

That being said, I believe this statement is complete crap. Basically, you are saying that you should just abuse an animal for your own selfish desire for meat and you should ignore what the animal had to go through for your appetite. (That is, if the animal did indeed suffer in the process, which it probably did.) By saying this, you aren't even acknowledging what an animal had to go through in order for you to eat. Animals, no matter what kind, shouldn't be abused for our greedy desires. I do understand that it is the cycle of life to eat animals, and hunting is actually good for the environment in some cases. But, in slaughterhouses and factory farms, I don't think it's healthy (for you or the animal) or morally right to kill in the way that they usually do. I hope and pray that not a lot of people think this way, because it's unimaginably sad.

[Hippyanon]

"No one is going to make you eat something you don't want to" Uh huh....tell that to the duck!!!

[nothingleft]

Foie Gras is love, Foie Gras is life.

Foie Gras with Fleur de sel = FOODGASM.

[Elliot_kz]

I would pay whatever to push down a tube into the chiefs throat until he gags up his own blood then ask him to say that again; people should not tell you what you can or can not eat. Ok maybe that's a bit cruel...but at least that would put things into perspective! 

[Caenlorn]

I like that he said "ducks" and then they showed us clips of geese.

[Gunbardo]

If humans were food to some species with even higher intellect than humans, i wonder what kind of delicacy we would be to them? :D
