What is…Slow Food?

I am all for slow food over fast food. The only problem is that we live busy lives and sometimes fast food is just too convenient. I wish I always had the time to sit down and enjoy a quality meal. It is good that someone is fighting back against the fast food industry.

Slow Food, now that’s interesting, certainly a concept that I like to hear! I hope their projects, events and activities that they do start to catch on as its a really great concept!

Till then,

First time I’ve heard of slow food. The concept is definitely noble. These past few decades have been the golden age of junk food so to speak. For most of the youth, that is all they eat. Awareness and popularization of local cuisine is very important. So kudos to the Italians for starting off the movement.

It would be nice to see this trend catch on in North America. It seems that we all lead such busy lives that people no longer have the time to slow down and appreciate their food.

I can fully relate to this as I enjoy a nice, leisurely meal taking time to savor the food as well as some pleasant conversation with friends. But we seldom get time for that in today’s fast paced world. 🙁
