I have been reading about the Slow Food Movement today. Slow food is best summed up in this little nutshell from Slow Food International:
"Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world."
Slow Food USA, the American subsidiary of the slow food movement, continues along the same lines.
