Freedom to Eat Saltwater Eels in Northern Marianas Debate
Delegates at the Northern Marianas constitutional convention in Saipan discuss rights including freedom of diet and freedom from forced marriage as part of a draft charter. A Marshall Islands delegate pushes for a freedom of diet to prevent local regulation of saltwater eels, while other delegates weigh cultural foods such as fruit bats and local customs. The convention has already approved a first reading on freedom of speech and press, with the region moving toward a commonwealth status under U S sovereignty.
