Trendy???
Foie gras is so inhumane that in 2004 California passed a law banning the sale and production of foie gras effective in 2012. Force-feeding has also been outlawed in the U.K., Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, and Israel.
Still… it tastes delicious to these lips, and I have force fed a couple of animals myself.
Happy geese and foie gras production are not necessarily mutually exclusive! Take a gander at this fantastic video!

@TorontoDude whats more trendy than eating a food banned in one state, and which the production is outlawed in various different nations?
