without supervision, would be
unable to digest in one week.

Up until two years ago,
:24:07
to prevent the geese from
losing too many calories,
:24:10
they used to nail
their feet to a plank.
:24:14
But now, thanks to these
very small cages,
:24:17
most of all,
thanks to the funnels,
:24:20
we can obtain
the same amount of foie gras
:24:23
with a more humane
and civil treatment.

ln Japan, about
500 miles from Tokyo,
:24:50
there is the most sophisticated
cattle farm of the world.
:24:53
Eight hours a day
these experienced masseurs
:24:57
take care of the bulls in
order to soften their flesh.
:25:28
Plus, every bull receives
six liters of beer a day
:25:32
in order to expedite
their fattening process.
:25:35
The beer is given to the animals
directly from the bottles
:25:38
to prevent the liquid
from losing its dilating power.
:25:42
All the steaks
coming from these bulls
:25:44
end up in three or four
specialized restaurants
:25:47
in Tokyo and New York.
:25:50
They cost approximately
7000 liras a kilo.
