People, some of you really need to read the article much more closely. This is only partly about using Italian products, the rest is outright xenophobia.
'the council banned any new ethnic food outlets from opening within the ancient city walls'
'The antiimmigrant Northern League party brought in the restrictions “to protect local specialities from the growing popularity of ethnic cuisines”.'
'Luca Zaia, the Minister of Agriculture and a member of the Northern League from the Veneto region, applauded the authorities in Lucca and Milan for cracking down on nonItalian food. “We stand for tradition and the safeguarding of our culture,” he said.'
'Davide Boni, a councillor in Milan for the Northern League, which also opposes the building of mosques in Italian cities, said that kebab shop owners were prepared to work long hours, which was unfair competition.'
Those are all discriminatory, racist remarks.
And btw, eatNrun, you nimrod: "The San Marzano tomato, a staple ingredient of Italian pasta sauces, was a gift from Peru to the Kingdom of Naples in the 18th century." Your precious tomato is from South America. *rolls eyes*

(Show it anyway.)
If it had been a 63 year-old male, balding, overweight and with bad teeth, how would the article have described him? Oh, yeah, they wouldn't have. They would have listed his credentials.
