An Italian newspaper reported that Girolamo Sirchia, Italy's minister of health would try to convince Italians to make Friday a day of fasting.

"Apart from being an ancient religious tradition, the weekly fast is a useful health measure," Sirchia told the daily La Stampa. "It has a scientific basis. It helps to purify the system of the effects of an unhealthy diet."

Sirchia added that the government would do its part by taking more control of foodservice in public schools, hospitals and government institutions.
