[b]The baker who beat
McDonald's
From Richard Owen in Rome
AFTER a five-year battle, the fast-food giant McDonalds has
retreated from a southern Italian town, defeated by the sheer
wholesomeness of a local bakers bread.
The closure of McDonalds in Altamura, Apulia, was hailed yesterday
as a victory for European cuisine against globalised fast
food.
Luigi Digesù, the baker, said that he had not set out to force
McDonalds to close down in any bellicose spirit. He had merely
offered the 65,000 residents tasty filled panini bread rolls
which they overwhelmingly preferred to hamburgers and chicken
nuggets. It is a question of free choice, Signor Digesù
said.
