A food fight erupts as Italian Agriculture Minister Luca Zaia tries to defend his new partnership with McDonald's.
My FaceBook page is boiling with discussions about Italian children being more obese than American children while the Agriculture Minister is promoting the new McItaly burger.
The country that gave birth to the Slow Food Movement isn't buying his argument that his partnership with McDonald's will provide important new markets and income for Italian farmers.
Carlo Petrini, founder of Slow Foods, wrote a front-page opinion-piece challenging Zaia to give a kilo-by-kilo accounting of how much farmers are actually getting paid because of the deal.
Small sustainable farmers are not going to benefit from this new partnership, no matter what Zaia claims. Neither are Italian children.
