Gov. Hochul, Mayor Adams throw down over NYC ban on foie gras
Fox News
NYC Mayor Eric Adams is in a battle over city rights with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on whether foie gras should be sold in the Big Apple.
Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio had first signed the ban in 2019, and it was scheduled to take effect in November 2022. Hochul's state Department of Agriculture and Markets stepped in and ordered the city not to enforce the ban.

Proponents of the state government's move say NYC authorities were overreaching by essentially trying to close farms roughly 100 miles away from the city. Advocates of the ban, however, argue that NYC should be free to regulate itself, according to Politico.
