Not sure but it does sound a bit jacked up for the duck or goose:

Foie gras (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Speakerlink-new.svg/11px-Speakerlink-new.svg.png (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/En-us-foie_gras.ogg)i (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:En-us-foie_gras.ogg)/ˌfwɑːˈɡrɑː/ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English), French for "fat liver") is a luxury food product (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_product) made of the liver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver) of a duck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_duck) or goose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_goose) that has been specially fattened. By French law,[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-1) foie gras is defined as the liver of a duck or goose fattened by force-feeding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-feeding) corn with a feeding tube (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_tube), a process also known as gavage. In Spain[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-2) and other countries outside France it is occasionally produced using natural feeding.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-3) Ducks are force-fed twice a day for 12.5 days and geese three times a day for around 17 days. Ducks are typically slaughtered at 100 days and geese at 112 days.[4]
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-Viva-4)
Foie gras is a popular and well-known delicacy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicacy) in French cuisine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_cuisine). Its flavor is described as rich, buttery, and delicate, unlike that of an ordinary duck or goose liver. Foie gras is sold whole, or is prepared into mousse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mousse), parfait (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parfait), or pâté (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A2t%C3%A9), and may also be served as an accompaniment to another food item, such as steak. French law states that "Foie gras belongs to the protected cultural and gastronomical heritage of France."[5]
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-5)
The technique of gavage dates as far back as 2500 BC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25th_century_BC), when the ancient Egyptians (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptians) began keeping birds for food and deliberately fattened the birds through force-feeding.[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-6) Today, France is by far the largest producer and consumer of foie gras, though it is produced and consumed worldwide, particularly in other European nations, the United States, and China.[7]
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras#cite_note-npr.org-7)
Gavage-based foie gras production is controversial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras_controversy), due mainly to the animal welfare concerns about force-feeding, intensive housing and husbandry, and enlarging the liver to 10 times its usual volume. A number of countries and jurisdictions have laws against force-feeding, and the production, import or sale of foie gras; even where it is legal, a number of retailers decline to stock it.

I worked with a guy who went vegan. He had to supplement his protein and lysine. I said the fact that you have to supplement protein and Lysine prove that humans need to eat meat?

He tried taking the high ground and said he didn't support the slaughter of animals. To which I said to his surprise, I agree corporate farmer is a huge mistake in human history with how we treat our livestock. Which is why I still buy meat from back home. I still get half a cow, half a pig, and look for humane raised eggs. They are more expensive usually, but the fact remains we are omnivores and rejecting part of our needs will only do damage in the long run.

I've read about women who were vegens who had to go back to eating meat because they were sickly and would often lose their period after a prolonged period of time just eating fruits and vegetables.
