They intend to compromise the lawmakers:

The chefs are going to invite lawmakers to foie gras dinner in their districts, all over the state,” Mr. Ballard said.

And this is disgusting:

Greg Daniels, who runs Haven Gastropub in Pasadena, Calif., said he feared it could result in the diminishment of the state’s reputation as an adventurous and first-rate place to eat. “I think the culinary landscape of California will change much more than anybody is realizing,” Mr. Daniels said.

What hyperbole. This dish is rare, that's why it's costly. The intention of the law, is to change the culinary landscape of California. Just like getting rid of things exposed on videos. People can easily do better than this by simply allowing the law to go forward.

These chefs are arguing for their wealthy patrons to be allowed to relish that they have money to waste on food. It is unneccesary. No one will starve from this.. California needsa reputation as adventurous in doing something other than stuffing one's face with stuffed liver. This is surreal.
