foie gras remark

February 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

I’ve been quoted, in French.

Clementine Gallot, a journalism student in NYC corresponded with me via email a little while ago, and this appears to be the article written about some foie gras business in NYC that it was all about.

The specific quote is

Russell Stadler, ancien étudiant de l’Université de Chicago, les soutient: « Je pense personnellement n’avoir pas besoin d’une loi pour consommer ou non du foie gras, c’est mon choix personnel. Cette interdiction à Chicago a non seulement eu peu d’effets mais apparaît à tout le monde, rétrospectivement, comme une erreur ». Depuis peu, la municipalité et le maire de Chicago pensent même à abroger la loi.

which I have no idea what it means because I don’t know French.

Google Language Tools gives the following translation:

Russell Stadler, old studied University of Chicago, supports them: “I personally think of not needing not a law to consume or not foie gras, it is my personal choice. This prohibition in Chicago had not only few effects but appears with everyone, retrospectively, like an error�. Recently, the municipality and the mayor of Chicago even think of repealing the law.

This is mostly right, strange automatic-translation errors aside, so I’m not going to bother going to find the exact original wording in English.

I wonder where this intended for and if I could get it in China.
