D.C. Ballot Measure to Ban Foie Gras Gains Attention

• Initiative 86, introduced in early February, seeks to ban the sale of foie gras in D.C.
• CodePink D.C. Coordinator Olivia DiNucci is supporting the initiative and posted a TikTok video in its favor.
• Foie gras, a delicacy made by overfeeding ducks or geese, has already been banned in New York City and Pittsburgh.
• The initiative has become a contentious issue in the D.C. midterm-election ballot.
• The measure's supporters argue it is about animal welfare, while opponents claim it infringes on personal choice and culinary freedom.
