The Foie Gras Food Fight

To eat duck or not to eat duck? That is the question. In his new book, "The Foie Gras Wars," Mark Caro explores the answer to the question, among others, of what constitutes the proper amount of suffering for a duck to endure before it finds its way onto our dinner plate. How much suffering is too much? Caro takes readers to the battlefield of the war, from political leaders and animal rights' activists to foie gras connoiseurs. Larry talks to Mark Caro to talk about his new book.
