Stop Being Cruel To Your Liver!

Has your day ever had an unexpected twist?

Mine did!

During the recent school holidays our grandkids discovered two tiny yellow squeaky fluffballs floating on the Forth River.

It turned out that these baby ducks had been abandoned by their parents.

Now they were literally “sitting ducks,” waiting to be snatched up by the resident white goshawk that lives by the riverfront on our property.

Thankfully, Joh (our son and the local vet) came to the rescue.

He quickly built a safe enclosure and set up a feeding schedule, which after a few weeks—without any official handover—ended up squarely on my shoulders.

Today, the little ducklings are fully grown and almost ready to be released into our dam to join the rest of the resident ducks, who I feed each day.

A few generous handfuls of grain also go to Cedric the donkey, who begins braying enthusiastically the moment I open the back door.

It’s a scene straight out of a feel-good farmyard movie.

Watching the yellow fluffballs turn into 2 beautiful white adult ducks got me thinking about the French delicacy “foie gras.”

You may have heard of it.

It’s made by force-feeding ducks and geese a high-starch diet—mainly grains and corn—so their livers swell up to ten times their natural size.

This fatty liver is what gives foie gras its rich, buttery taste.

Can you believe it?
