It's illegal to sell foie gras in California but it's okay to give away those fancy duck livers because of a loophole in the law. So a Bay Area donut shop called Psycho Donuts celebrated National Donut Day recently with free foie gras-filled donuts.
That led to death threats from animal-rights extremists, who are the real psychos. Psycho Donuts went ahead with the donut giveaway, but there had to be police on-site to keep the peace.
Only in California.
