If I were an investor I would ask Hudson Valley and the other specialty farms to look into GMO and lab-grown foie. Maybe liver is easier to do than muscle tissue.

Foie tastes like magical butter and it would be wonderful if there was a more ethical way to have it.

He talks about a farmer who is not force feeding the animals, but instead prepares the grassland such that those animals voluntarily eat themselves into a fat liver. Taste seems to be superb, for those who eat animals for fun.

It is posible to transplant part of the liver from a person to another, and both will regrow a complete liver. So this may work but IANAMD. More info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_transplantation#Living_d...
