"I believe that the global policy that tells us that there is a single health that must be protected at 360 degrees, the so-called 'one health' strategy, is right, but this does not mean 'one Diet', that is, a single food model for all. European countries and the world. Instead, it means understanding that the moderate consumption of every food, every food is a value that can be part of all diets and the Mediterranean Diet is this model. Any international policy that comes from the United Nations and the 'The European Union that questions this sacrosanct principle will find an enemy in this Government and in me personally ".
This was stated by the Minister of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies Stefano Patuanelli at Vinitaly.
"We need to make it clear that a glass of wine at the end of a meal not only does not hurt but is good, because health is also the ability to be together and to interact with others", added the minister, "I think that this value must be defended by Europe and the United Nations and not questioned by those who want to think that food production systems can be fully homologated at any latitude of the country and the planet ".
