Because male ducks' livers grow larger than those of females, only males are used...

I found giving up foie gras effortless.  I don't eat veal or pork, either, due to the cruelty of the confinement.  Five days of the week are vegetarian in the Can household, the other two days fish or chicken.

When I was a teen, I tried my hand at writing, and one story featured a rich heiress I named Patti DeFoygrass.

I have never eaten foie gras.

Our family had a ranch when I was a kid and we raised our own food, and we used to hunt rabbits to eat, etc, so I have always been a meat eater, but I have always been poor for the most part and cannot afford to eat the more expensive types of meat on a regular basis. Hamburger here is very expensive right now, so I buy the chicken which is far cheaper, the chicken is only ninety nine cents per pound. On the issue of fish, swordfish is pretty cheap here because we are right by the ocean, and I can make fish tacos for pretty cheap with the swordfish. But, mostly I have been eating pasta lately, I have been having pasta 3 or 4 times a week now. And I like the canned food sometimes like Chef Boyardee, and Campbell Soup. And I eat cheese everyday, I love cheese. My doctor told me to avoid pork, so I never eat pork, except for bacon occasionally.

On the issue of world leaders, I like Giorgia Meloni, she is the new leader of Italy, and she has the support of Berlusconi. She strongly disapproves of people smuggling and illegal immigration, so she seeks to stop the inflow of immigrants into Italy. The USA is huge and the USA can handle the immigrants, but Italy is small, and Italy is already full of Italians. The USA has the Statue of Liberty, and immigrants are welcome, but in Italy it is a small nation which is already full of people. Send the immigrants to Battle Mountain, Nevada, and they can do trade with San Francisco.

Salute,

Stop rooting for the fascists, Tony. The poverty they cause is both mental and physical.

Americans have always been good people who helped each other, and in my hometown of Lancaster, California, the people used to get together and they would have a big rabbit hunt and they would have a party and a dance, and then they would send all of the rabbit meat to the orphanages in Los Angeles to feed to the orphans. The people of the Antelope Valley made sure that the orphans in Los Angeles had food to eat.

When I was a kid in Battle Mountain, Nevada, we used to hunt the rabbits and eat them, rabbit meat is good. And you can roast the rabbit over an open camp fire like the Cowboys, that was how my people did it. But, also the French have great recipes for rabbits, etc, and the orphans in Los Angeles were lucky to have rabbit meat.

Americans are good people who have always helped the orphans and the needy, and the orphans were lucky to get the rabbit meat.

Salute,

It is said by many that leftist govts love mass legal, and illegal, and people smuggling immigration because said immigrants mostly vote for the left.

Italy finally woke up that open borders is a failed policy.
Other European countries have already closed their borders to the waves of asylum-seeking immigrants.It was failed policy in them too.

It is where ward failed at everything all through his life. It is easy for sad old losers to hate the things that moved past them and left them in the dust.

At all airport, and road entry crossings into America, the security is tight.
Finger printing and face scanning of tourists etc, searching of cars, luggage etc.
Why?
"Border security"/ "border integrity".
The way a country should be run...with not just any "Tom, Dick, Harry or Mary" allowed to  wander into the nation, set up house and do as they please, no identification, no valid documentation, no background checks, no approval from the federal govt.

The USA is special and is the only nation with a Statue of Liberty welcoming the poor and the homeless from around the world. The USA is all of the people of the world all living in the USA in peace and prosperity as equals. In the USA all people are welcome, and all people are equal.

And we need to make our immigrants legal in the USA right now like Reagan did, so that the immigrants can join labor unions, and so that they can call the police in the case of an emergency. And we need to write a new immigration law which includes a good neighbor policy.

The USA is huge, we have plenty of wide open land, and the immigrants are welcome in the USA.

Of note as well, it that it sort of justifies the troubles that the Native American Indians experienced if we make all men equal and if all men are welcome in the USA, and now we are making the Native American Indians wealthy with casinos and movie studios, etc. The Native American Indians believe that the Earth belongs to all of the people who live on the Earth, they do not believe that any one person can own the Earth, which goes along with the idea that the USA should belong to all of the people of the Earth.

The USA is the only nation with a Statue of Liberty where all men are equal and all men are welcome.

Salute,
