What the coverage says

An Italian chef employed at an Australian restaurant was terminated from his position after declining to add pineapple to a pizza, deeming the topping "offensive" according to the BBC. The Guardian adds that the worker subsequently pursued legal recourse regarding the dismissal, but Australia’s Fair Work Commission rejected his bid to regain employment. Court proceedings noted that the chef viewed the ingredient as “'an insult to his culture.'”
