He is not one to give his point of view on current affairs. Nor the kind to come and tackle anyone. This Wednesday, the Breton chief Olivier Roellinger however split an acid tweet in the direction of the President of the Republic. Expected in Finistère this Wednesday, Emmanuel Macron will visit a tomato producer member of Sica Saint-Pol-de-Léon, one of the largest French farmers' cooperatives. And obviously, this is not to the taste of the former chef of La Maison de Bricourt, famous for his spices.
In a tweet, the man who gave his three stars to the Michelin Guide a little over ten years ago wonders about this choice. “In Brittany, tomatoes grown above ground and out of season in greenhouses heated all year round and then sold in supermarkets do not embody the new agro-food model that President Macron asked us to imagine for another collaborative and ethical world. “, Estimates the chef of Cancale (Ille-et-Vilaine). Expected in the afternoon in Cléder to visit there tomato greenhouses, Emmanuel Macron will then go to the Super U of Saint-Pol-de-Léon in the presence of the boss of the large-scale distribution group Dominique Schelcher.

We have to extract food from the claws of the food industry, very powerful lobbies in the agricultural world and the four large platforms of large areas which, as we have just learned, eat up on organic products, ”criticized the chef in a interview with Le Télégramme.
