"I reported that Izzy Yanay of Hudson Valley Foie Gras invited city council members to visit his farm in the Hudson Valley before voting on a potential citywide foie gras ban, saying he’d lose about $12 million — a third of his annual sales — if the ban passed; the piece notes there are only three farms that raise foie gras in the U.S., two of them in a rural Catskills community that employ 400 people." - Carla Vianna
