New York City's terrible foie gras ban, passed in 2019 at the urging of animal-rights groups, is on life support.
In an order issued last week, the state's agriculture department found the city's ban on the sale of foie gras violates state law. The order blasts "the City's effort to use its police powers and business regulatory authority to bar the sale of a lawfully produced farm product—not for reasons of the health, safety, or welfare of its citizens—but to change animal husbandry practices occurring on farms outside its jurisdiction to which it objects."
