In April, Chicago became the first U.S. city to outlaw the sale of foie gras, a goose liver delicacy that is decried by animal-rights activists because it is created by force-feeding birds to fatten up their livers.

Will the city prosecute if a citizen imports some through the post office (by mail) or by car (buys it in another city)?

Is possession criminalized or just sale?

I live about 100 miles north of Chicago - I may just set up a foi gras stand at the Wisconsin border - ya know like a fireworks store or a cheese hut or a "gentlemen's club" . . . . but only selling fois gras . . . . .I'd make a mint!!

Man, not to go too far off-topic, but I LOVE that tagline!

Sheer genius...
