I'm French, and these kind of things are very important to me. When I buy cheese for example, more than just eat cheese, I want to know that I'm helping some tradition continue, and giving money to specific regions where the product is traditionally made. That applies for French products, Italian products, American products, Japanese products, you name it.


What kinds of things do you buy from America? Out of curiosity.


Unfortunately not much. While we can easily access some of the spirits, american wine is really hard to find, and don't even get me started on the cheese. Which is why I hope these kinds of law would educate the public more and lead to more specialized stores. French people usually don't care much about "traditional americans products", which meansamericaine that for example even Cheddar is really hard to find, and we're far from the variety that I could get in America.
