I'm a dyed-in-the-wool omnivore, but I've got to give this a try. I'll report back here next week.

I first came across This American Life shortly after their initial Poultry Slam, but this latest version really hit me in the head. Don't miss the last segment on natural production of foie gras without force-feeding the geese -- fascinating!
