The writer states : "I'm a food journalist, and it's my job to to eat what I'm assigned to eat....". Sounds like a paraphrasing of the famous defense statements by the Nazi concentration camp officials at the Nuremburg trials: "I was just following orders". Also, how do the experts know if a goose is/is not feeling pain when they are being force-fed with a tube down their throat? Do they have the animal fill out a questionaire?

I agree! I have trouble being sedated properly for proceedures and have woken up during several that involved a tube down either my esophogus or airway, and it feels like you are suffocating either way! Its a terrible feeling, and anyone that wants to eat fatty goose liver (yuck btw), should have to go through being force fed with a tube down their throat at leats once!
