The socalled "explanation" sounds like "We think it is immoral to eat this part of the animal".
Now that I think of it: I wouldn't be surprised if it was forbidden in the US to eat anything made from sex organs, such as reindeer penises (which rumours claim are sold in Japan at unbelievable prices as an aphrodisiac). The only problem with that is that frequently in the the world of fruits and mushrooms and vegetables, the part that we eat is exactly what corresponds to the sex organs in the animal world...
So the "force-feeding" isn't always a force feeding. There are instances where it occurs for mass-production, but it can still be found naturally.
Durian is not illegal, it is merely not permitted in certain hotels and public transport.
Let's have a reference for haggis being banned in the USA. I call b.s.
And as far as haggis goes- the US import of UK products containing sheep's lungs and windpipe has been banned, not haggis itself. But yeah, the truth is bent.
But they still make bacon out of pig stomach. pork rinds out of it's fat.
and lets not even get into what goes into bologna and hot dogs....
I am 100% certain I would rather eat lung and throat before that nastiness.
