A year after the ban on selling foie gras pâté in the city of Chicago, the delicacy is still offered by some chefs as a courtesy of the house or clandestinely, outside the menu. The law passed by city councilors in 2006 was defended by PETA, a group for an ethical treatment of animals. The NGO defends the cause for the ethical aspect, while for some chefs it is the principle of the elimination of animal products from the menus, and for the councilors, it is an accessory issue, since they feel that their duty is to ensure the food security, among others, of the population, according to different testimonies collected by the Chicago Tribune. Contradictorily, the ban in the city has skyrocketed demand for the dish in restaurants in the surrounding suburbs. The battle for foie gras
