Rich, Creamy, and oh so Velvety Smooth?

I love the suede-soft texture and mouth-watering flavour of a gobful of FOIS GRAS. Nothing butters my toast quite like chowing down on that glorious meat-paste. However, I was recently horrified to hear that it is apparently made by torturing poor little water fowl?! Is this true, and if so should I refuse to eat it again?
