Fast Food and Obesity is the Fault of the Protestants and Other Crazy Musings

"A few years ago, Massimo Salani, a Roman Catholic priest from Tuscany, stirred up controversy by calling fast food “the fruit of a Protestant culture.”

“Fast food reflects the individualistic relation between man and God introduced by Luther,” Salani said, prompting such clever headlines in the following day’s Italian newspapers as, “Theologian Excommunicates the Hamburger.”

“The individualistic relation between man and God, started by Luther, is also reflected in the world of eating,” Salani went on. “Lacking the community aspect of sharing, fast food is certainly not a Catholic model,” he added.

The above is from a piece in The American Spectator written by Marina Melenic.  The piece is titled “Food for Thought," and was inspired by the Italian commie founded Slow Food Movement. I’m not that hungry for it.
