D.C.'s Initiative 86 proposes a ban on foie gras, a controversial luxury food, which would become law if passed. If enacted, D.C. would join California, Portland, and New York City in banning the product. Slobodan Milic, who is a partnership lead on the initiative, stated that the ban is based on animal cruelty concerns.
