Too many cooks spoil the ....BRAIN

The famous Italian music conductor Riccardo Muti recently made a controversial statement during an interview carried out by the Roman newspaper Il Messaggero. Maestro Muti said that there are too many cooking shows in Italy, too many cooks and too much fuss on food. He added that Italians need stimulation for the brain, that is, more artistic and intellectual programs.  Moreover, the Maestro said whenever he watches an Italian program he changes to foreign channels. He is right. Italian TV shows are really pitiful, many foreigners living in Italy have been saying that for years.

His point of view is shared, among others, by the Italian showman Piero Chiambretti who some time ago also said that there are too many cooking programs.
