Slow Food is a non-profit organization that was founded 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.
I think we need to make it a priority to slow down and enjoy our food. I remember a story from a good friend. She was talking of her memories with her grandma that she was especially close to . Standing around the butcher block island in the kitchen helping grandma cook was the first thing that always comes to her mind when reminiscing... And, is it no wonder that she is a wonderful cook and truly enjoys her food! A great example of "slow food" i suppose.... i am going to try to have one slow meal a week for starters.....
