i can understand their frustrations.
the italians are without doubt the best in the world when it comes to food. the french cant hold a candle to them.
now i see that mc-filth has its place in the world, but frankly, this is like putting lipstick on a pig.
one of the nice things about italy is the very few mc-shit holes in their cities - and no starbucks. they have managed to some extent to keep their cultural identity. you do see the odd mc-filth, but its mostly teenagers and american tourists who visit them. the teenagers soon ditch the place as they mature.
