"Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams Clash Over NYC's Foie Gras Ban"

New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams are at odds over the legality of foie gras, a controversial delicacy made from force-fed duck liver. Adams' administration wants to enforce a ban on the luxury food due to animal rights concerns, while Hochul's state Department of Agriculture and Markets has ordered the city not to enforce the ban. Proponents of the state's move argue that NYC authorities were overreaching, while ban advocates believe the city should have the right to regulate itself. The ban was initially signed by former Mayor Bill de Blasio and was set to take effect in November 2022.
