Star Chefs and operators in this sector, in contrast, have expressed concern about the difficulty of easily recovering the ingredients that are part of the diet proposed by the diet becoming the intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO Humanity, besides reporting a emptying the content behind the meaning of the Mediterranean diet. "The problem – says star chef Cristina Bowerman, with several catering establishments in the capital, is not just the cost of proposing a menu of Mediterranean diet products, but also of availability and logistics. The model to be followed – says the Ambassador of the President – must be that of the country's chef, which naturally has more ease in recovering the ingredients they have on the ground, but at the same time, the chief of the big cities must be put in the condition of logistical platforms and can implement a market liberalization farmers, thinking about possible tax cuts ".
